DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

FIG. 1A is an overall flowchart of a method 1 for teaching success, according to the present invention. In step 95, success, self-empowerment and self-governance are defined for the students and the students are instructed to select a personal goal that may be far beyond their comfort limit. Success may be defined as the degree of efficiency in materializing thought through self-governance. “Self-governance” may be defined as the degree of efficiency in controlling ones's activity drives, emotional drives and quality of life drives or instincts, as depicted in FIG. 1G, infra, and described herein, such that one; such as students of the systems and methods of teaching success of the present invention may be in a happy state of mind, wherein “happy” may be defined as enjoying, showing, or marked by pleasure, satisfaction, or joy.

Alternatively, success may be defined as the achievement of something desired, planned, or attempted, such as, for example, happiness or legacy. “Legacy” is one's heritage that may be handed down from an ancestor or a predecessor or from the past. Alternatively, success means applied creativity. Success is an action that accomplishes its intended purpose. Success is achieved by selling yourself on doing all the things you hate to do because you appreciate the importance of overriding your natural internal auto-resistance to change and your default tendency to avoid unpleasant obstacles.

The opposite of success is failure. Failure is performing and achieving far below your true possible or potential and abilities. Failure is your inability each day to resume and maintain the integrity of your focus, attention, interest, and pleasure in pursuing your desired goals.

Success may also be that which comes after; hence, consequence, issue, or result, of an endeavor or undertaking, whether good or bad; the outcome of effort. Success may be the favorable or prosperous terminafion of anything attempted; the attainment of a proposed object, prosperous issue. Empower may have the legalistic meaning “to invest with authority, authorize.” It may be used with an infinitive in a more general way meaning “to enable or permit.” Self-empowerment may be defined as a system of managing your life such that you increase your probability of taking consistent creative actions or sustained right actions, which in turn, increases your probability of achieving great success. Self-empowerment puts you on the fast track to unlimited success:

-   -   Puts you in control of your life and your interactions or         sustained right actions with those around you     -   Teaches you how to regain your creativity and creative edge     -   Teaches you how to promote and sustain your creative drive

Examples of personal goals include, but are not limited to: balancing ones time between family, work and personal; achieving harmony between ones personal values and beliefs and those of society; achieving happiness; achieving contentment; achieving specialness; achieving peace of mind; increasing interaction with others; increasing level of giving of ones talent; solving large scale problems; increasing altruism; increasing ones level of service to humanity; increasing ones level of community service; matching ones level of accomplishment in life to ones true possible or potential, by application of ones own creativity, genius and magnificence; achieving personal and emotional growth; upholding happiness as a central focus in life; promotion and advancement of individual success; nurturing a team spirit; creating an atmosphere of increased positive creative energy to buffer against the prevailing culture of negativity, fear and misery. Hereinafter, “creative energy” is having the ability or power to create, e.g., having the ability or power to be productive, ability or power characterized by originality and expressiveness, imaginativeness, e.g., having the ability or power to write creatively. “Creative energy” may also be the ability or power of one who displays productive originality, e.g., the creatives in the advertising department.

FIG. 1B depicts at least one Success CA•rs 1, comprising any plane or solid geometric figure such as a circle, square, rectangle, or a sphere, cube, parallelepiped and the like. The at least one Success CA•rs 1 comprises: a student's new brain Creative Ambitions and/or Creative Actions or sustained right actions, hereinafter abbreviated as upper case CA, old brain survival or self-protection drives or instincts, hereinafter abbreviated as lower case s, and old brain recreation drives or instincts, or overindulgence in recreation, such as for instant gratification, hereinafter abbreviated as lower case r. The term Creative Ambitions and/or Creative Actions or sustained right actions, CA; may be an eager or strong desire to achieve something characterized by originality and expressiveness. Alternatively, Creative Ambitions and/or Creative Actions or sustained right actions, CA, may be imaginative or a desire for exertion or activity characterized by originality and expressiveness. The term recreation, r, may be a drive or instinct for refreshment of one's mind or body after work through activity that amuses or stimulates; play. The term recreation, r, may be a drive or instinct for instant gratification. The term recreation may also be indulgence in play or in simple pleasures. The term “recreation” does not mean “creation again,” as in “re-create,” in the context of embodiments of the present invention. The term “recreation” means a diversion. Recreation may also mean refreshment of one's strength and spirits after toil; amusement; diversion; sport; pastime. The term survival, s may be a drive or instinct for protection of oneself from harm or destruction, and the drive or instinct for individual preservation; the innate desire to stay alive. Alternatively, the term survival, s, may be a drive or instinct for preservation of oneself from harm; a natural or instinctive tendency towards self-preservation or survival.

Old brain recreation, r, drives or instincts for instant gratification may arise from witnessing startlingly sudden tragedy such as loss of life or property on a massive scale that results in people being less willing to rely on planning, anticipating, and developing long-term goals. Alternatively, old brain recreation drives or instincts for instant gratification may arise in people who no longer believe in the virtue of patience and simply want instant gratification. Hereinafter, “instant gratification” means behavior of a student in which the student prefers receiving a small reward at this instant, rather than receiving a larger reward in the future. Such people may be characterized as impulsive and as lacking in the ability to defer or delay gratification, i.e., as having medical conditions such as attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), bipolar disorder, frontal lobe disorder, and drug addiction. Lesions in an area of the forebrain involved in reward, the nucleus accumbens core (AcbC), may cause the student to simply want instant gratification, e.g., always chosing a more immediate, smaller reward over a bigger, later one. The finding suggests that damage to this brain area could contribute to behavioral disorders characterized by the urge for instant gratification or being impulsive. Drugs such as amphetamine and cocaine may act on the AcbC, altering levels of the neurotransmitter dopamine. The student may be taught the drug Ritalin, the controversial drug widely used to control hyperactive and inattentive children, may also act on the AcbC, altering levels of the neurotransmitter dopamine and/or adrenalin. Hereinafter, behavior characterized by the desire for instant gratification, hyperactivity, and/or inattentiveness may result from an unhealthy low level of dopamine, that may be due to an unhealthy AcbC. Alternatively, old brain survival or self-protection instincts may arise from other reward-related areas of the brain, such as the amygdala, which is involved in fear.

It has been found that dopamine produces a feeling of well-being, happiness, altruism and general self-satisfaction, and that increasing its level may result in off-setting or countering the bad effects of an unhealthy level of adrenalin, such as hyper-activity and inattentiveness. In embodiments of the present invention, students may be taught to use dopamine increasing techniques such as 1) activity kindling or self-controlled hyper-arousal, 2) self-deprivation, 3) self-controlled increase of their success-startle threshold or activity kindling threshold, and 4) creation of a crisis of need or relevance, or combinations, thereof, to overcome the bad effects of an unhealthy level of adrenalin.

It has been found that endorphins also produce sensations of pleasure by uninhibiting dopamine pathways, causing more dopamine to be released into the synapses. Endorphins are peptides that may be produced by the pituitary gland and the hypothalamus in vertebrates. Endorphins may be released by laughter, or rigorous exercise that takes persons over their success-startle threshold or activity kindling threshold. The “runner's high” is one example where strenuous exercise or the high that comes from completing a challenge rather than just through the exertion takes persons over their success-startle threshold or activity kindling threshold. Endorphins may be generated in response to certain spices, such as chili peppers. In some embodiments of the present invention, the students may be taught to increase endorphin release using the aforementioned techniques to experience a “winners high.”

Students may be taught that the old brain physically resides in primitive brain structures, such as the brain stem. The old brain may be responsible for primitive drives in humans such as survival and self-preservation and/or defensiveness instinct, and recreation, such as instant gratification type pleasures. An example of the students' self-preservation, survival and/or defensiveness drives or instinct may be a primal instinct such as “fight or flight” that arises when students may be frightened because they perceive they are in danger of physical harm, or in danger of not being able to obtain necessities of life such as food, shelter, warmth and sleep. Actions or sustained right actions directed by the old brain tend toward avoidance behavior, minimizing exposure and promoting inactivity and thus have a negative effect on success as defined supra.

Although students may be instructed to de-emphasize old brain drives or instincts for recreation, r, and survival, s, and to emphasize new brain Creative Ambitions and/or Creative Actions or sustained right actions and Success-Creative Activities in order to re-distribute their creative energy, E_(i), to reallocate it to power and achieve their compelling desires and personal goal, students may be instructed in embodiments of this invention to allocate a finite amount of their creative energy, E_(i), for recreation, r, and survival, s, old brain activities that include spirit energizing or refreshing recreation, r, such as pleasuring in the sounds of the forest or socializing with friends or family, or exercising for maintaining one's health. Students may be taught to allocate a finite amount of their creative energy, E_(i), to survival, s, that include self-defense, sex and reproduction or working long hours to finish a task on time.

Students may be taught that the new brain physically resides in higher brain structures such as cortical structures. Actions or sustained right actions directed by the new brain tend toward complex dynamic activity and involve adventure, logic, reason, risk taking and delaying gratification and thus have a positive effect on success as defined supra.

In embodiments of the present invention, old brain activities do not include behavioral tasks such as motivation, people skills, innovation, memory, and seeing situations in total (seeing the “big picture”). On the contrary, new brain activities of the present invention include behavioral tasks such as motivation, people skills, innovation, memory, and seeing situations in total (seeing the “big picture”).

The student may be instructed that the differences between the old and new brain set up a polarized internal conflict in the students between recreation and survival drives, on the one hand, and Creative Ambitions and/or Creative Actions or sustained right actions, on the other hand, as depicted in the at least one Success CA•rs 1 and 2 in FIG. 1B, infra. In some embodiments, the students may be taught that SLOW CA•rs activity, characterized by low probability of success, may arise from old brain structures.

In FIG. 1B, the at least one Success CA•rs 1 may be represented by an acronym “CA•rs”, wherein the first two letters of the CA•rs acronym represent the first letter of Creative Ambitions and/or Creative Actions or sustained right actions, and the third letter of the CA•rs acronym represents recreation drives or instincts and the fourth letter of the CA•rs acronym represents survival or self-protection. In FIG. 1B, the at least one Success CA•rs 1 may be represented by a triangle, wherein the student's creative energy for powering his or her Creative Ambitions and/or Creative Actions or sustained right actions and/or Success-Creative Activity may be an area E_(CA) in the at least one Success CA•rs 1, wherein the students' creative energy for powering recreation and survival may be an area E_(r,s), and wherein the students' initial creative energy, E_(i), is equal to E_(CA)+E_(r,s). The at least one Success CA•rs 1 may be primary vehicles of the students' creative energy. Therefore, the at least one Success CA•rs 1 may be primary vehicles for the students creative thoughts or sustained right thinking and creative actions or sustained right actions, since creative thoughts or sustained right thinking and creative actions or sustained right actions may be powered by their creative energies. In a step 110 of the method 1, the students may be taught to redistribute and re-balance their creative energy distribution to increase the area E_(CA) by repositioning the divider 3 in a direction of an arrow 11, thereby teaching the students to allocate more of their Creative Ambitions and/or Creative Actions or sustained right actions energy, E_(CA), for their thoughts or sustained right thinking, actions or sustained right actions and results to power and achieve their Creative Ambitions and/or Creative Actions or sustained right actions and/or Success-Creative Activities. Hereinafter, students may be instructed to achieve their compelling desire, their personal goal and success by instructing them to utilize a Success Roadmap 50, as depicted in FIG. 1E, infra. Hereinafter, “STARS” is an acronym, wherein the first “S” represents said students' “Ideal Self,” and/or “Spirited Living or Sustained Spirit Energy,” “T” represents said students' “thoughts or sustained right thinking,” “A” represents said students' “actions or sustained right actions,” or “activities” and the last “S,” in the acronym represents “surveillance,” “self-monitoring,” and/or “self-governance.” Hereinafter, instructing students to utilize “STARS” means instructing them to power their thoughts or sustained right thinking, “T”, “actions or sustained right actions,” “A”, and “results,” “R,” inter alia, from the students' creative energy of their “Ideal Self” and/or “Spirited Living or Sustained Spirit Energy.” Hereinafter, the method, wherein the students' thoughts or sustained right thinking, “T”, “actions or sustained right actions,” “A”, and “results,” “R,” are powered by their creative energy of their “Ideal Self” and/or “Spirited Living or Sustained Spirit Energy” and subsequently subjected to “surveillance” and/or “self-monitoring” and/or “self-governance,” “S” may include the steps 51-56 of the Success Roadmap 50, as depicted in FIG. 1E, infra, and described in associated text and may be named “FAST CA•rs MAKE HOLLYWOOD STARS.” FAST CA•rs are the students' creative energy. Hollywood STARS include all their extraordinary successes. The term “Fast CA•rs Make Hollywood STARS” is a slogan that may mean the students' extraordinary successes, i.e., Hollywood STARS, may depend upon their ability to access their creative energy Fast CA•rs. Students may become a STAR by never allowing their minds to dwell upon either, too much partying (recreation), or excessive concerns about your survival. Students may become STARS by centering their minds and actions upon pursuits of a creative nature.

In some embodiments success may require the interaction of the students' Spirit and mind (Thoughts) to set off a sequence of Creative Actions, CA, that bind together the students' desired Results under their watchful Surveillance and/or Self-monitoring and/or Self/governance.

In some embodiments, “STARS” includes powering the students' thoughts or sustained right thinking, “T” and “actions or sustained right actions,” “A” by providing the students' creative energy from FAST CA•rs resulting from the Success CA•rs redistributions 15, 16, and 35, as depicted in FIGS. 1C, 1D, and 1F, as depicted, infra, and described in step 115 of the method 1, as depicted in FIG. 1A, supra.

FIG. 1C depicts FIG. 1B, illustrating a Success CA•rs 15 redistribution in a direction of the arrow 5, wherein a portion of the student's initial creative energy, E_(i), in the at least one initial Success CA•rs 1, may be equivalent to E_(CA), and a portion of the student's final creative energy, E_(f), may be equivalent to E_(CA′) in an at least one final Success CA•rs 2, after students have redistributed and re-balanced their creative energy so as to allocate more Creative Ambitions energy and/or Creative Actions or sustained right actions energy for powering their Creative Ambitions and/or Creative Actions or sustained right actions and/or Success-Creative Activity, according to embodiments of the present invention. The Success CA•rs 15 redistribution may be a method of attaining personal goals by performing new brain activities, in accordance with the method 1, as depicted in FIG. 1A, infra, and described in associated text.

In the Success CA•rs redistribution 15 depicted in FIG. 1C, a remaining portion of the student's initial creative energy, E_(i), may be equivalent to E_(r.s) in the at least one initial Success CA•rs 1, and a remaining portion of the student's final creative energy, E_(f), may be equivalent to E_(r′,s′) in an at least one final Success CA•rs 2 after the students have redistributed and re-balanced their creative energy so as to allocate more Creative Ambitions and/or Creative Actions or sustained right actions energy, E_(CA′), for powering their Creative Ambitions and/or Creative Actions or sustained right actions and/or Success-Creative A ctivity. E_(r,s) may be equivalent to a sum of creative energy for powering r and s in the at least one initial Success CA•rs 1, and E_(r′,s′) may be equivalent to a sum of creative energy for r′ and s′, in the at least one final Success CA•rs 2. Hereinafter, E_(CA) represents initial Creative Ambitions and/or Creative Actions or sustained right actions energy in the at least one initial Success CA•rs 1, and E_(CA′) represents final Creative Ambitions and/or Creative Actions or sustained right actions energy in the at least one final Success CA•rs 2. Both the initial and final Success CA•rs 1 and 2 may be represented by any plane or solid geometric figure such as a circle, square, rectangle, or a sphere, cube, parallelepiped and the like. The at least one initial and final Success CA•rs 1 and 2 may be represented by different plane or solid geometric figures. In FIG. 1C, the initial and final CA•rs 1 and 2 states may be represented by triangles, wherein the students' creative energy for achieving their Creative Ambitions and/or Creative Actions or sustained right actions and/or Success-Creative Activity may be an area E_(i) in the at least one Success CA•rs 1 and an area E_(f) in the at least one Success CA•rs 2, and wherein E_(i)=E_(CA)+E_(r,s) and E_(f)=E_(CA′)+E_(r′,s′). The Success CA•rs redistribution 15 in the direction of the arrow 5, depicted in FIG. 1C, shows CA′ having E_(CA′)>E_(CA′). Therefore, FIG. 1C depicts transformation of a SLOW Success CA•rs 1 into a FAST Success CA•rs 2 because the area of CA is greater than the area of CA′. Hereinafter, the students may be instructed that FAST CA•rs 2 have a high yield of success and SLOW CA•rs 1 have a low yield of success, as in the step 105 of a method 1, herein.

There is a possibility that success may fail to arouse a feeling of happiness in what has been accomplished. It has been found that when success is in harmony with the students' Creative Ambitions and/or Creative Actions or sustained right actions, for example, when their personal values and beliefs and those of society are in harmony, the probability that the success will arouse a feeling of unhappiness is low. Hereinafter, success may be in harmony with the students Creative Ambitions and/or Creative Actions or sustained right actions when the creative activities that are the manifestation of the success resonate, i.e. are consistent with and constructively in-phase with the students' Creative Ambitions and/or Creative Actions or sustained right actions.

To be an effective redistribution of the students' creative energy, the final creative energy E_(CA′) should be greater than the initial creative energy E_(CA), but the relationship of E_(i) and E_(f) may be one of E_(i)=E_(f), E_(i)<E_(f) or E_(i)>E_(f). Therefore, an effective CA•rs redistribution may require the area E_(CA′)>E_(CA), regardless what plane or solid geometric figure may be used to represent the initial and final CA•rs 1 and 2 states. In the Success CA•rs redistribution 15, students have been instructed to redistribute and re-balance their Creative Ambitions and/or Creative Actions or sustained right actions energy, E_(CA), so that more of their final Creative Ambitions and/or Creative Actions or sustained right actions energy, E_(CA′), may be available to power his or her Creative Ambitions and/or Creative Actions or sustained right actions and creative activities. In so doing, the area of E_(CA′) may be made larger than the area of E_(CA) by moving a position of divider 3 in the triangle 1 in a direction of an arrow 11 to a position of a divider 4 of the triangle 2. Therefore, the position of divider 4 in the final Success CA•rs 2 state relative to the divider 3 in the initial CA•rs state should be such that the area of E_(CA′)>E_(CA), since the student has allocated more creative energy to power his or her Creative Ambitions and/or Creative Actions or sustained right actions and/or Success-Creative Activity in the CA•rs redistribution 15.

FIG. 1D depicts a Success CA•rs 16 redistribution in a direction of the arrow 8, wherein a portion of the student's Dwelling Time, DT_(i), in the at least one initial Success CA•rs 1, may be equivalent to a Dwelling Time DT_(CA), and a portion of the student's final Dwelling Time, DT_(f), may be equivalent to DT_(CA′) in the at least one final Success CA•rs 2 after the students have redistributed and re-balanced their Dwelling Time so as to allocate more of the students' Dwelling Time for achieving their Creative Ambitions and/or Creative Actions or sustained right actions and/or Success-Creative Activity, according to embodiments of the present invention.

In addition, FIG. 1D depicts a Success CA•rs 16 redistribution in the direction of the arrow 8, wherein a remaining portion of the students' Dwelling Time, DT_(i), may be equivalent to DT_(rs) in the at least one initial Success CA•rs 6, and a remaining portion of the students' final Dwelling Time, DT_(f), may be equivalent to DT_(f′s′) in the at least one final Success CA•rs 7 after the students have redistributed and re-balanced their Dwelling Time so as to allocate more Dwelling Time for achieving their Creative Ambitions and/or Creative Actions or sustained right actions and/or Success-Creative Activity. DT_(rs) may be equivalent to a sum of Dwelling Time for achieving {umlaut over (r)} and s, and DT_(r′s′) may be equivalent to a sum of Dwelling Time for achieving r′ and s′, in a final Success CA•rs 7. Hereinafter, CA represents Creative Ambitions and/or Creative Actions or sustained right actions, an r represents recreation, and s represents survival and self-protection in the initial CA•rs 6 state and CA′ means Creative Ambitions and/or Creative Actions or sustained right actions, r′ means recreation, and s′ means survival and/or self-protection in the final CA•rs 7 state. As in FIG. 1C, supra, both the initial and final CA•rs 6 and 7 states may be represented by any plane or solid geometric figure such as a circle, square, rectangle, or a sphere, cube, parallelepiped and the like. The initial and final CA•rs 6 and 7 states may be represented by different plane or solid geometric figures. In FIG. 1D, the initial and final CA•rs 6 and 7 states may be represented by triangles, wherein the student's Dwelling Time for achieving his or her Creative Ambitions and/or Creative Actions or sustained right actions and/or Success-Creative Activity may be an area DT_(CA) in the triangle 6 and an area DT_(CA′) in the triangle 7, and wherein DT_(i)=DT_(CA)+DT_(rs) and DT_(f)=DT_(CA′)+DT_(r′s′). The Success CA•rs redistribution 16 in the direction of the arrow 8, depicted in FIG. 1D, showing CA′ having greater Dwelling Time than CA may result from the student's redistribution and re-balancing of his or her Dwelling Time so as to allocate more Dwelling Time to achieve his or her Creative Ambitions and/or Creative Actions or sustained right actions and/or Success-Creative Activity. To be an effective redistribution of the student's Dwelling Time, the final Dwelling Time DT_(CA′) should be greater than the initial Dwelling Time DT_(CA), and the relationship of DT_(i) and DT_(f) may be one of DT_(i)=DT_(f). Therefore, an effective Success CA•rs 16 redistribution may require the area DT_(CA′)>DT_(CA), regardless what plane or solid geometric figure may be used to represent the initial and final CA•rs states. In so doing, the area of DT_(CA′) may be made larger than the area of DT_(CA) by moving a position of divider 9 in the Success CA•rs 6 in a direction of an arrow 12 to a position of a divider 10 of the Success CA•rs 7. Therefore, the position of divider 10 in the final Success CA•rs 7 state relative to the divider 9 in the initial CA•rs 6 state should be such that the area of DT_(CA′)>DT_(CA), since the student has allocated more Dwelling Time to power his or her Creative Ambitions and/or Creative Actions or sustained right actions and/or Success-Creative Activity in the CA•rs redistribution 16.

FIG. 1A depicts an overall flowchart of a method 1 for teaching success according to the present invention. In step 95, students may be instructed to identify a compelling desire or personal goal. In step 100, students may be instructed to list possible or potential causes for failing to achieve a personal goal, that is, their creative resistance, and possible or potential substitute new brain activities for achieving the personal goal. Creative resistances may be barriers to success. The student may be taught that as a toddler and youngster, they were carefree and filled with curiosity and creative energy, but with the passage of time, they acquired from their parents greater responsibility for ensuring their own personal safety. Further, while, their primary caregivers continually warned them of the dangers of the world, they may have experienced some negative events such as disappointment, tragedy, loss or trauma. Consequently, they may have begun to withdraw and may have become increasingly fearful and defensive, that may have resulted in limiting their curiosity and creative energy. As they became increasingly preoccupied with concerns of survival and self-preservation and recreation for instant gratification, they may have begun to suppress their creativity and their carefree creative nature. As they retreated and played it safe, an imbalance was created in their lives, with a greater share of their creative energy being channeled towards survival, +U,uns self-preservation, and recreation, and less time towards creative pursuits.

The student may be taught that the biological roots for self-preservation or survival and recreation in the at least one Success CA•rs 1 may arise from primitive evolutionary drives or instincts and may be old brain activity that result in SLOW CA•rs that may be characterized by a low probability of success. In contrast to FAST CA•rs, SLOW CA•rs may be characterized by a low probability of success because they may establish a resistance in the students towards engaging in FAST CA•rs activities, such as creative activities that may utilize the new brain. Alternatively, students may be taught that old brain activity may inhibit willingness to express the students' Creative Ambitions and/or Creative Actions or sustained right actions, thereby inhibiting the students' comfort with exposure or standing out in a crowd or leadership and inhibiting the students' success-creative activities. Hereinafter, “low probability of success” means failure to achieve the students' compelling desire or personal goal. Failure includes performing and achieving far below the students' true possible or potential abilities. Students may be taught that failure includes the students' inability each day to resume and maintain the integrity of their focus, attention, interest, and pleasure in pursuing their desired goals. Hereinafter, old brain activities include self-preservation or survival fear, worry, fight or flight reflexes, impulsive responses, recreation, i.e., over-indulgence in play, or in simple pleasures or in matters of instant gratification. It may be explained to the student that the old brain preserved a “biological hardwiring for survival” when the new brain evolved.

Examples of possible or potential questions the students may be taught to ask themselves to characterize whether they may be allocating sufficient creative energy as FAST CA•rs instead of SLOW CA•rs include, but are not limited to: 1) Do I often fail to follow through with important tasks? 2) Do I often lose interest quickly? 3) Do I often fail to set goals and maintain goals? 4) Do I often fail to complete projects? 5) Why do I fail to maintain a diet? 6) Why do I postpone changing my career? 7) Why do I lose enthusiasm for new projects? 8) Do I often feel empty and dissatisfied? 9) How can I be more consistent in following through? 10) How can I raise my level of energy and enthusiasm? 11) How can I avoid future regret because of my inappropriate behavior or regrettable actions or sustained right actions?

Referring to the step 100 of the method 1, the student may be instructed to list possible or potential old brain activities from which the causes for SLOW CA•rs listed in the step 100 may arise, and to list possible or potential new brain activities to overcome these causes. The list of reasons may include, but may not be limited to one of the following: the student may list “old brain” activities such as survival, self-preservation, and/or defensiveness and/or reproduction or sex and/or recreation drives or instincts as reasons for failing to achieve the aforementioned personal goals. Alternatively, the student may list “old brain” activities that include, but are not limited to: 1) thinking too small; 2) thinking too little of ourselves and our capabilities; 3) preferring to settle for less; 4) failing to initiate and sustain enough interest; and 5) playing it safe.

Referring to the step 100 of the method 1, the student may list “new brain” activities to achieve the aforementioned personal goals that the students listed in the step 95 of the method 1. Hereinafter, “new brain” activities are activities that arise from the student's creativity such as imagining, dreaming, and boundary-less problem solving which come from the students' free spirit or sense of omnipotence. Herinafter, the “sense of omnipotence” means the ability to achieve boundlessly. Students may be taught they may be born with a boundary-less or free spirit. Alternatively, the student may be taught that the greatness (omnipotence) the students may see in others may also be greatness that is within the students. However, that free spirit may become restricted or inhibited by life's experiences that introduce and reinforce doubt in the students' minds about what is a reachable, a realistic or a reasonable goal or activity. The student may be taught this may result in a loss of creativity. The aforementioned new brain activities may be driven by “activity drives” such as work, charity, applying interactive synergy and/or Creative Ambition and/or Creative Activity and/or Creative Action, as in success FAST CA•rs, to achieve the aforementioned personal goals. Hereinafter, “interactive synergy” means the interaction of two or more agents or forces so that their combined effect is greater than the sum of their individual effects. Alternatively, “new brain” activities may be activities driven by “experiential drives” such as a need for love, companionship, appreciation, understanding, having a sense of meaningfulness, and having a sense of purpose. Alternatively, “new brain” activities may be activities driven by “quality of life drives” such as need for belonging, affiliation, acceptance, happiness, contentment, special ness and peace of mind. Alternatively, the new brain easily handles problems such as logic, objectivity, precision, analysis, and technology. Steps 95 and 100 of the method 1 are preparatory steps. Being successful individuals may require increased use of the aforementioned new brain activities and a decreased use of the aforementioned old brain activities in their day to day lives.

In step 105 of the method 1, the students may be instructed that the FAST CA•rs may have a high yield of success and SLOW CA•rs may have a low yield of success. The students may be instructed that the acronyms FAST CA•rs and SLOW CA•rs describe opposite states of the Success CA•rs redistributions 15 and 16 of FIGS. 1C and 1D, as depicted supra, and described herein. In the step 100, E_(CA) of Success CA•rs 1 may be less than E_(CA′) of Success CA•rs 2 because the line 3 has moved in the direction of the arrow 11 to a position of the line 4, resulting in the area E_(CA) being less than the area E_(CA′) Creative Ambition and/or Creative Action, may be opposite recreation and survival. The opposites Creative Ambitions and/or and Creative Actions or sustained right actions are represented to the student as FAST CA•rs activity, and recreation (or short-lived pleasure) and survival are represented to the student as the two SLOW CA•rs activities. The features of FAST CA•rs activities are: they have a high yield for success, are activities that power Creative Ambitions and/or Creative Actions or sustained right actions and are success excitatory. FAST CA•rs activities include activities that may require creativity, wisdom, problem solving, spirituality, and activities that elicit such complex emotions such as exhilaration. Examples of FAST CA•rs activities include the aforementioned new brain activities. The features of SLOW CA•rs activities include: they have a low yield for success, are the baseline automatic default responses, are creative liabilities, i.e. activities that drain a students' creative energy and are success inhibitors. SLOW CAR activities may also include old brain activities. Examples of SLOW CAR recreation (or pleasure) activities include any compulsive pursuits that may only serve to distract students from implementing or completing new brain activities to achieve their personal goal. SLOW CAR recreation (or pleasure) activities include activities that provide instant gratification such as compulsive drinking or eating or habitual behavior. SLOW CAR survival activities include activities based on fear, worry and may invoke flight or fight responses or other impulsive responses. SLOW CAR survival activities include activities such as over-working, and being a perfectionist. A persons' creative energy may be split between the SLOW and FAST CA•rs.

In step 110 of the method 1, the students may be instructed to select and implement at least one of the possible or potential new brain activities associated with the FAST CA•rs.

In the step 115, the students may be instructed to utilize a success roadmap to achieve FAST CA•rs. FIG. 1E depicts a Success Roadmap 50 in which their creative energy flows from their Ideal Self and/or their Spirited Living or Sustained Spirit Energy, S, to power their thoughts or sustained right thinking, T, actions or sustained right actions, A and their results, R. In a surveillance and/or self-monitoring and/or self-governance step, the students may consciously ask whether they have effectively allocated their dwelling time and creative energy to achieve their compelling desire or personal goal. The students may be instructed to utilize, the Success Roadmap 50 in the step 115 of the method 1, as depicted in FIG. 1A. The Success Roadmap 50 comprises: a step 51 in which the students' creative energy may flow from their Ideal Self and/or their Spirited Living or Sustained Spirit Energy to power thoughts or sustained right thinking, T, such as right or correct thoughts or sustained right thinking, wherein the rightness or correctness of the thoughts or sustained right thinking, T, may be based on FAST CA•rs thoughts or on whether the students determine that they have achieved their compelling desire and/or their personal goal; a step 52 in which the students' creative energy may flow from their Ideal Self and/or their Spirited Living or Sustained Spirit Energy throght their thoughts, T, to power their actions or sustained right actions, A, such as right or correct actions or sustained right actions, wherein the rightness or correctness of the actions or sustained right actions, A, may be based on FAST CA•rs actions and/or whether the students determine that they have achieved their compelling desire and/or their personal goal; a step 54, in which the students' creative energy may flow from their Ideal Self and/or their Spirited Living or Sustained Spirit Energy through their thoughts and actions to power their results, R, such as right or correct results, wherein the rightness or correctness of the results, R, may be based on whether the students determine that they have achieved their compelling desire and/or their personal goal. In steps 51, 52 and 54, the Law of Positive Natural Consequences may be taught to the student. The Law of Positive Natural Consequences states that outcome is a natural outflow from action or inaction. The Law of Positive Natural Consequences controls all a students' interactions or sustained right actions with the universe. Technically the Law of Positive Natural Consequences is an “IF . . . THEN” sequential dyad. In the steps 51, 52 and 54, the student is taught the consequences of the Law of Positive Natural Consequences. First, the Law of Positive Natural Consequences controls the time-movement of all objects (tangible and intangible); that is, how a person gets from here to there, that is, how a person acquires success, in accordance with the present invention. Second, like baking a cake, sequence guarantees outcome. Third, good outcome may require consistent, positive actions or sustained right actions.

The Success Roadmap 50 includes a surveillance and/or self-monitoring and/or self-governance step, 56, in which students may be instructed to ask whether they have effectively allocated their dwelling time and creative energy to achieve their compelling desire or personal goal, and if they have achieved their good compelling desire or personal goal. In the step 56, if the answer is “NO”, the students may be taught to repeat steps 51-56 of the Success Roadmap 50. Alternatively, they may consciously choose to abandon or postpone such intended compelling desire or personal goal. If the answer is “YES”, the students may be taught that a purpose of the surveillance and/or self-monitoring and/or self-governance operation, S, in the Success Roadmap 50 is to enable the students to continually test the rightness or correctness of their thoughts or sustained right thinking, T, actions or sustained right actions, A and/or their results, R the results, R. The students may be taught that their thoughts or sustained right thinking, T, actions or sustained right actions, A and/or their results, R may be right if they feel a sense of Happiness, Contentment, and/or Peace of Mind, after they have achieved success in regard to achieving their compelling desire or personal goal, as in step 95 of the method 1, as depicted in FIG. 1A. A compelling desire or personal goal can also include helping others achieve Happiness, Contentment, Peace of Mind and/or success for themselves. Surveillance and/or self-monitoring and/or self-governance may be tests for whether the students have preserved their Happiness, Contentment, and/or Peace of Mind, after they have achieved Success in regard to achieving their compelling desire or personal goal, as in step 95 of the method 1, as depicted in FIG. 1A.

The students may be taught success FAST CA•rs 58 may provide creative energy in the form of Creative Ambitions and/or Creative Actions or sustained right actions, CA, as depicted in FIGS. 1C, 1D, and 1F, supra, for powering their thoughts or sustained right thinking, T, in a direction of an arrow 53. In some embodiments, the students may be taught creative energy from their Ideal Self and/or Spirited Living or Sustained Spirit Energy, S, may be provided for powering their success FAST CA•rs 58, in a direction of an arrow 53′ and/or creative energy from their success FAST CA•rs for powering their thoughts or sustained right thinking in the direction of the arrow 53.

The students may be taught success FAST CA•rs 59 may provide creative energy in the form of Creative Ambitions and/or Creative Actions or sustained right actions, CA, recreation, as depicted in FIGS. 1C and 1D, supra, for powering their actions or sustained right actions, A, in a direction of an arrow 55. In some embodiments, the students may be taught creative energy from their thoughts or sustained right thinking, T, and/or Ideal Self and/or Spirited Living or Sustained Spirit Energy, S, may be provided for powering their success FAST CA•rs 59, in a direction of an arrow 55′ and/or creative energy from their success FAST CA•rs for powering their thoughts or sustained right thinking in the direction of the arrow 55.

FIG. 1G depicts one embodiment of an “Ideal Self” and/or “Spirited Living or Sustained Spirit Energy” success CA•rs 70, wherein the students have been taught to allocate their success-creative energy in proportion to an area of each labeled portion of the success CA•rs 70 in order to power and achieve their Creative Ambitions and/or Creative Actions or sustained right actions, CA, as in the success CA•rs 1, as depicted in FIG. 1A, supra. In FIG. 1G, the students may have been instructed to allocate a lowest level of their creative energy to primitive needs such as self-preservation, survival, reproduction, sex and recreation for simple pleasure. The students have been instructed to allocate a second level of their creative energy to expressive needs to improve their quality of life through activity drives, including, but not limited to, creativity, work charitable giving, and interactive synergy. In FIG. 1G, primitive and expressive needs have been allocated generally to activity drives.

In FIG. 1G, the students may also have been instructed to allocate an intermediate and highest levels of their success-creative energy to Emotional Needs for powering their Emotional drives or instincts, including, but not limited to, feeling of love, specialnesss, being appreciated, being understood, having a sense of feelings of meaningfulness, being valued, having a sense of belonging, having a sense of affiliation, being accepted, being connected, having peace of mind, having contentment, having legacy, having balance, having fulfillment and being in harmony. Hereinafter, Quality of Life drives or instincts include Emotional drives or instincts and the Expressive Needs portion of Activity drives or instincts. Hereinafter, happiness means a balanced embodiment of activity drives, quality of life drives, and emotional drives to achieve a sense of completeness and harmony. Happiness is the students' moment to moment ability to look and see far beyond the negative, so as to experience the beauty and perfectness of this world (and of those around you); and, with great love and excitement in your heart, immerse yourself in the creative possibilities of now.

In the step 115 of the method 1, students may be taught that performing the Success CA•rs redistributions 15 and 16 may result in success in achieving their personal goals. Students may be taught that performing the Success CA•rs redistributions 15 and 16 may result from increased use of the new brain activities and a decreased use of the old brain activities in their day to day lives, transforming their SLOW CA•rs to FAST CA•rs, in accordance with the method 1 of the present invention. In the step 115 of the method 1, the student may be instructed to allocate more creative energy and Dwelling Time to power and achieve his or her Creative Ambitions and/or Creative Actions or sustained right actions and/or Success-Creative Activity, according to the Success CA•rs 15 and 16 redistributions as depicted in FIGS. 1B and 1C and described supra, to achieve their personal goals, success, happiness and legacy. When students are instructed to allocate more Creative Ambition and/or Creative Actions or sustained right actions energy, E_(CA), and Dwelling Time to power and achieve their Creative Ambitions and/or Creative Actions or sustained right actions and/or Success-Creative Activity in the CA•rs redistribution as depicted in FIGS. 1B and 1C and described supra, they may achieve their personal goals, success, happiness and legacy. In the CA•rs redistribution, the student may increase his or her Creative Ambitions and/or Creative Actions or sustained right actions Dwelling Time, DT_(CA′) relative to the student's Creative Ambitions and/or Creative Actions or sustained right actions Dwelling Time, DT_(CA), as depicted in FIG. 1B and described in associated text. Hereinafter, Dwelling Time may be the time the student invests thinking about and performing any activity. Dwelling Time can be constructive or destructive. Constructive Dwelling Time may be rooted in Creative Ambitions and/or Creative Actions or sustained right actions and in Success-Creative Activity. Constructive Dwelling Time may be time that directly powers success. Destructive Dwelling Time may be rooted in self-preservation and recreation. Destructive Dwelling Time may displace Success-Creative activity. Students may be taught to do surveillance and/or self-monitoring and/or self-governance, in which they are taught to optimize a probability of success of achieving their personal goals by monitoring their Constructive Dwelling Time. Students may be instructed to perform the Success CA•rs redistributions 15 and 16 to de-emphasize recreation and survival activities by re-distributing and re-balancing their Dwelling Time so that more of the students' Success-Creative activity may be allocated toward Creative Ambitions and/or Creative Actions or sustained right actions. New brain activities are helpful in achieving a student's personal goal; old brain activities are detrimental to achieving the student's personal goal.

In some embodiments of the present invention, in step 115 of the method 1, students may be instructed to de-emphasize old brain activities by allocating more creative energy and dwelling time to power and achieve their personal goals and FAST CA•rs based on the listing of new and old brain activities that result in Fast CA•rs, supra, listed in the step 100 of the method 1.

FIG. 1H depicts an embodiment of the step 115 of the method 1, wherein the students may be instructed to redistribute and rebalance their initial foreground creative energy, FGE_(i), as in a Success CA•rs redistribution 35 in a direction of the arrow 37, as depicted in FIG. 1G and described infra. In FIG. 1H, the students may have redistributed their initial foreground energy, FGE_(i), such that FGE_(CA′)>FGE_(CA) to accomplish the students' moment-to-moment thoughts or sustained right thinking and behaviors. Creative energy includes foreground creative energy. “Foreground energy” is a portion of a students' creative energy that may be allocated to power in-progress activities in order to achieve the students' personal goal. The students may be instructed to distinguish between personal goals that may have an immediate need from personal goals that may be achieved later. In this foreground creative mode, a task executing in foreground is one able to accept input from and return output to the user in contrast to one running in the background. Normally, there may be more than one foreground task per student to be accomplished. Hereinafter, accomplishing more than one task per student may be termed “multi-resulting.” In the foreground creative mode, instructing the students, as depicted in FIGS. 1G and 1H, and described, herein, to allocate their “foreground energy” to accomplish their moment-to-moment thoughts or sustained right thinking and behaviors may avoid confusion that may result from multi-resulting.

FIG. 1H depicts an embodiment, Overcoming Resistance, of the step 115 of the method 1, comprising a step 112, instructing students to utilize activity kindling or controlled hyper-arousal to overcome their naturally occurring stop reflex, or a step 114, instructing students to utilize self-deprivation to overcome, suppress or override their naturally occurring stop reflex, or a step 116, instructing students to increase their success startle threshold or activity kindling threshold, or a step 118, instructing students to create a crisis of need or relevance. In the step 112, the students may be instructed to utilize activity kindling or hyper-arousal to overcome their naturally occurring stop reflex that may be a barrier preventing allocation of their creative energy, E_(f), in order to achieve their Creative Ambitions and/or Creative Actions or sustained right actions, as in a Success CA•rs redistributions 15, 16, and 35 as in FIGS. 1C, 1D and 1F. Hereinafter, kindling means the electrophysiological changes that occur in the brain as a result of repeated intermittent exposure to a sub-threshold electrical or chemical stimulus (as one causing seizures) so that there develops a usually permanent decrease in the threshold or barrier to action or activity. Hereinafter, “hyper-arousal” means a state of elevated or increased alertness, focus, interest, awareness or wakefulness. “Hyper-arousal” may also mean an enhanced state of sensory sensitivity accompanied by an exaggerated intensity of behaviors whose purpose is to detect threats, for example, hyper-vigilance. Hereinafter, the “stop reflex” is a reflex that arises from a students' natural resistance to change, such as, for example, the Natural Protective Resistance (NPR) to change or novelty. The “stop reflex” may arise from homeostasis, a term that describes a students' bodies' natural tendency to preserve their physiological equilibria, such as, for example, a homeostatic regulator that preserves the current state of affairs, such as the body's ability and drive to maintain a constant fixed body temperature. Students may prepare for action if they are threatened by the environment (or informed of an approaching pleasure or danger). They may activate reserves of energy that may be a barrier preventing allocation of their creative energy, E_(f), to achieve their Creative Ambitions and/or Creative Actions or sustained right actions, as in a Success CA•rs redistributions 15, 16, and 35 as in FIGS. 1C, 1D and 1F, and produce certain hormones such as adrenalin, which prepares them for conflict or flight, such as for example, the survival instinct reflex. This activation can be manifested in visible physiological reactions or sustained right actions. Their heart beats and respiration may quicken in the presence of emotion, perceived danger, or physical effort. Their faces may turn red or pale and their bodies may perspire. They may experience shortness of breath, cold sweats, shivering, or trembling legs. In preparation for fight or flight, physiological change gets converted into feelings of anxiety which increase the students fear. The fear then becomes the resistance to creativity.

Homeostasis can be a voluntary response to paired stimuli, e.g., to drink when one is thirsty, to eat when hungry, to put on clothing when cold, to open a window when one is too warm, or involuntary response to paired stimuli, e.g. shivering, or sweating when one has a fever or may be too cold or hot. Here, the “paired stimuli” mean the stimulus of the pleasure to drink in response to the stimulus to relieve the pain of thirst, the stimulus of the pleasure to eat in response to the stimulus to relieve the pain of hunger, etc. In either voluntary or involuntary cases of homeostasis, students may be taught that the likelihood that they may overcome the stop reflex of homeostasis may depend on their control of the “paired stimuli,” that may be opposite human sensations such as pleasure and pain, hunger and satiety, or emotions, such as love and hate.

FIG. 1I depicts the students' creative energy, such as their perceived pleasure, as in equation (1), infra, versus time that may power students' Creative Ambitions. The students' perceived pleasure is shown as being either greater than, equal to or less than the students' activity kindling or de-kindling threshold or hyper-arousal or hyper-dearousal threshold versus time. Hereinafter, “activity dekindling threshold” and “hyper-dearousal threshold” are opposite of “activity kindling threshold” and “hyper-arousal threshold,” respectively. The broken curve of FIG. 1I depicts activity dekindling or controlled hyper-dearousal, wherein a high r/s (i.e., high recreation, r, and/or survival, s,) activity having the students' creative energy inefficiently allocated to survival, s, and/or recreation, r, activity may be dekindled, i.e. directed below the “activity dekindling threshold” and “hyper-dearousal threshold” over time by instructing the students to link the high r/s activity to a low perceived pleasure, that may be less than 50%, as defined in equation (1) supra. By instructing the students to link the high r/s activity to the low perceived pleasure, the students may be taught to stop doing the high r/s activity. It has been found that students will stop doing the high r/s activity when the perceived pleasure is less than 50%, resulting in directing the high r/s activity from an “activity field,” as in FIG. 1I, to a thought field. In contrast, the solid curve of FIG. 1I depicts activity kindling or controlled hyper-arousal, wherein a high Creative Ambitions, CA, activity may be kindled, i.e. directed above the “activity kindling threshold” and “hyper-arousal threshold” over time by instructing the students to recognize that the activity linked to the high Creative Ambitions, CA activity may have a high perceived pleasure, as defined in equation (1) supra. By instructing the students to link the high Creative Ambitions, CA, activity to the high perceived pleasure, the students may be taught to start doing the high CA activity. It has been found that students will start doing the high CA activity when the perceived pleasure is greater than 50%, resulting in directing the high CA activity from the “thought field” as in FIG. 1I, to the “activity field,” as in FIG. 1I, to a though field. It has been found that teaching students identify high CA activities that have a perceived pleasure greater than 50% enable them to gain leverage over barriers to implementation of the creative activities they have identified to help them achieve their compelling desire or personal goal. The technique in FIG. 11 may be used by the students to transform their creative thought into creative action. FIG. 1I, teaches the students that Perceived Pleasure, as in equation (1), infra, may increase when the students kindle their high CA activities resulting in doing the activities that the students have identified may be required to achieve their compelling desires or personal goal, i.e. success. In like manner, FIG. 1I teaches the students that Perceived Pleasure, as in equation (1), infra, may increase when the students redistribute and re-balance their creative energy to allocate more creative energy to their Creative Ambitions, CA, thereby losing r/s, as depicted in FIG. 1I. FIG. 1I teaches the students to allocate r/s energy to provide the energy to transform their creative thought into creative action. It has been found that the loss in r/s energy may be equivalent to the gain in CA energy, which may also be equivalent to the gain in perceived pleasure energy.

It has been found that students should increase activity kindling or hyper-arousal intensity to an activity kindling or hyper-arousal threshold level of perceived pleasure associated with an activity, in order to overcome the stop reflex due to homeostasis in order to cause students to engage in the activity and/or carry it out. It has also been found that a likelihood that students will engage in the activity may be proportional to an activity kindling level or a controlled hyper-arousal level of the students.

Therefore, in the step 112, students may be taught activity kindling or controlled hyper-arousal techniques and that they may overcome either voluntary or involuntary homeostasis, and that may promote the students' FAST CA•rs activities such as, for example, new success. This may be because it has been found that activity kindling or controlled hyper-arousal in excess of the activity kindling or hyper-arousal threshold and in excess of the energy of aroused interest in recreation, r, or survival, s, or self-preservation, s, may overcome the students' stop reflex due to homeostasis, thereby causing students to engage in the activity and/or carry it out. In some embodiments in which the students' personal goal may include behavior displacement, it has been found that teaching students to associate more pleasure with the behavior to be activated and more pain with the behavior to be suppressed may be an effective activity kindling or controlled hyper-arousal technique. The students may be taught that activity kindling or controlled hyper-arousal that associates pleasure with activities to be activated attracts students to engage in the activity, but activity dekindling or controlled hyper-dearousal that associates pain or discomfort with activities to be suppressed causes students to withdraw from the activity to be suppressed. It has been found that activity kindling or controlled hyper-arousal may effectively stimulate activities such as working to finish a task on time in competition with other activities selected from the group consisting of watching television, playing, or reading, going to the gym, new success and combinations thereof. Alternatively, activity kindling or controlled hyper-arousal may effectively stimulate new success, effectively displacing other activities selected from the group consisting of watching television, playing, or reading, going to the gym, working and combinations thereof. In some embodiments, the controlled hyper-arousal may be the students' conviction that their personal goal justifies “going all out,” such as, for example deciding to become a physician because the student can not accept not becoming a physician.

A student may be taught that activity kindling or hyper-arousal may be utilized for energizing new success when it may be internally controlled. Alternatively, activity kindling or hyper-arousal may be externally controlled, for example, by the advertising industry. Advertising expensive clothing such as women's fashion may be an example of externally controlled hyper-arousal or externally controlled activity kindling, wherein customers may be enticed to buy articles by advertisers representing the articles to possible or potential customers as unnaturally or unrealistically desirable, beautiful, or sexually appealing. This could cause the students to displace, suppress, or abandon activities of Creative Ambition, CA. Students may be taught a benefit to internally controlling hyper-arousal or internally controlling activity kindling, is that the students may choose to pursue new success instead of being enticed to buy articles by advertisers who represent the articles to possible or potential customers as unnaturally or unrealistically desirable, beautiful, or sexually appealing. Students may be taught to increase the likelihood of achieving their creative pursuits and/or personal goal by manipulatively increasing a hyper-arousal adrenaline effect the students may associate with their creative pursuits and/or personal goal. Students may be taught to associate pleasure to present success and new success activities, and associate pain for recreation or survival activities such as working, playing, watching television, or going to the gym since it has been found that increasing the intensity of pleasure associated with an activity increases the likelihood that students will engage in it and/or carry it out.

In the step 114 of the method 1, as depicted in FIG. 1H, supra, the students may be instructed to utilize self-deprivation to overcome their naturally occurring stop reflex due to homeostasis, thereby causing students to engage in the activity and/or carry it out. The students may be taught that self-deprivation may mean deferred or delayed gratification and that these may be new brain activities that may arise from complex, dynamic brain activity. Self-deprivation includes voluntarily giving up or losing relative or perceived pleasure associated with the activity being deprived. Therefore, self-deprivation and instant gratification may be opposites because self-deprivation may be a new brain activity and instant gratification may be an old brain activity. The students may be taught to have confidence in self-deprivation and/or delayed gratification if they are given a larger reward for engaging in and/or carrying out the activity in the future than if they engage in and/or carry out the same activity immediately, such as, for example, deferring premarital sex until they are committed to a monogamous relationship, instead of accepting a higher risk of being exposed to a sexually transmitted disease from a polygamous partner.

In the step 116 of the method 1, as depicted in FIG. 1H, supra, the students may be instructed to focus their attention on the Creative Ambitions, CA, and/or Creative Actions or sustained right actions, CA, and/or productive activities related to carrying out their compelling desire and/or personal goal, as in the step 95 of the method 1, supra. By focusing on activities the students identify that will help them achieve their compelling desires and/or personal goal, students may induce success startles that are specific to carrying out their compelling desires and/or their personal goal. A problem is that normal human brains generate competing voluntary and involuntary success startles. In healthy brains, involuntary success startles may be controlled by a balance of adrenaline and dopamine and/or endorphins. We have described how brains with unhealthy lesions in the frontal lobe or people diagnosed with attention deficit syndrome have random uncontrolled success startles such that they try to give their attention to every activity they imagine. Focusing accomplishes two results that help students achieve their compelling desires and/or their personal goal. Firstly, focusing on creative activities increases an intensity of their success startles, and secondly, focusing on creative activities increases their success startle threshold and/or kindling and/or activity thresholds for Creative Ambition, CA, Creative Action, CA and/or productive actions or sustained right actions identified by the students for carrying out their compelling desires and/or their personal goal. As to the first result, focusing on the activity to be carried out increases the success startle intensity for that activity relative to the numerous other competing success startles in a normal or unhealthy brain. As to the second result, it has been found that focusing raises the success startle threshold and/or kindling and/or action threshold for success creative activities relative to recreation (or pleasure) r, and self-preservation, s activities. Therefore, instructing students to focus on creative activities increases their success startle intensities so that the creative activity may be stimulated to action even though focusing also raises the success startle threshold and/or kindling and/or action threshold for success creative activities relative to recreation (or pleasure) r, and self-preservation, s activities and relative to the competing success startles in the normal and unhealthy brains.

It has been found that the success startle and/or kindling and/or activity threshold for recreation (or pleasure) r, and self-preservation, s, activities such as play, watching television, or instant gratification for immediate pleasure or play may be lower than for working on Creative Ambitions, CA, and/or Creative Actions or sustained right actions, CA, and/or productive actions or sustained right actions activities that may have time pressure due to a near term deadline. Procrastination, where students defer working on Creative Ambitions, CA, and/or Creative Actions or sustained right actions, CA, and/or productive actions or sustained right actions, but instead pursue recreation (or pleasure) r, and self-preservation, s, activities such as play, watching television, or instant gratification for immediate pleasure or play such that the Creative Ambitions, CA, and/or Creative Actions or sustained right actions, CA, and/or productive actions or sustained right actions may be finished late or just in time, may exemplify this lowered success startle and/or kindling and/or action threshold for recreation (or pleasure) r, and self-preservation, s, activities such as play, watching television, or instant gratification for immediate pleasure or play. Therefore, teaching the students to focus on the Creative Ambitions, CA, and/or Creative Actions or sustained right actions, CA, and/or productive actions or sustained right actions in contrast to recreation (or pleasure) r, and self-preservation, s thereby increasing the students' success startle for the Creative Ambitions, CA, and/or Creative Actions or sustained right actions, CA, and/or productive actions or sustained right actions may overcome the students' naturally occurring stop reflex due to homeostasis, thereby causing students to engage in the Creative Ambitions, CA, and/or Creative Actions or sustained right actions, CA, and/or productive actions or sustained right actions activities and/or carry them out.

Alternatively, in the step 116 of the method 1, the student is taught that their choice of creative activity over recreation, r and/or survival, s, may be based on a perceived relative rewards associated with each activity and that there is a natural attraction towards activities with the greatest perceived relative rewards.

In step 116, the student is taught the concept of Perceived Relative Reward. Perceived Relative Reward can be defined as a ratio of perceived pleasure to perceived pain as in equation (1) infra: $\begin{matrix} {\text{Perceived~~Relative~~Reward} = \frac{\text{Average~~Perceived~~Pleasure}}{\text{Average~~Perceived~~Pain}}} & (1) \end{matrix}$ where: Perceived Pleasure includes enjoyable activity drives such as love, happiness, altruism, Creative Ambition comfort, Creative Ambition excitement, Creative Ambition wealth, Creative Ambition sex, success, positive legacy and inspiration. Here, activity drives such as Creative Ambition wealth and sex are not drives for recreation, r or survival, s, wealth and drives for recreation, r, sex for instant gratification. Perceived Pain includes un-enjoyable recreation, r and/or survival, s, withdrawal drives such as from fear, physical or emotional pain, discomfort, shame, guilt, worry, and regret.

In step 116, the students may be taught to ascribe an intensity for each of the Perceived Pleasures listed supra for a given activity on a scale of 0-10, wherein 0 means no pleasure, a 5 means average pleasure, and 10 means the greatest intensity of pleasure that the students ascribe to the given activity to determine the quantity “Perceived Pleasure.” In like manner, the students may be taught to ascribe an intensity for each of the Perceived Pains listed supra for a given activity on a scale of 0-10, wherein 0 means no pain, a 5 means average pain, and 10 means the greatest intensity of pain that the students ascribe to the given activity to determine the quantity “Perceiyed Pain.” Each of “Average Perceived Pleasure” and “Average Perceived Pain” may be determined by averaging each of “Perceived Pleasure” and “Perceived Pain” for the given activity, wherein any appropriate method of statistical averaging such as equal weighting or non-equal weighting may be used to determine each of “Average Perceived Pleasure” and “Average Perceived Pain.”

In step 116, the student is taught that a high Perceived Relative Reward (high Perceived Pleasure) promotes action in those activities and a low Perceived Relative Reward (high Perceived Pain) promotes avoidance of actions or sustained right actions in those activities. The student is taught that the probability of action thus increases as Perceived Relative Reward increases. In step 116, the student is taught how to increase or decrease their Perceived Relative Reward. On one hand, increasing their perceptions of love, happiness and the greater good served by fulfilling their Creative Ambition and/or Creative Actions or sustained right actions, can increase a students' Perceived Relative Reward. On the other hand, decreasing their perceptions of pain, fear, shame, guilt, discomfort and regret associated with not fulfilling their Creative Ambitions can decrease a students' Perceived Relative Reward.

In the step 118 of the method 1, as depicted in FIG. 1H, supra, the students may be instructed to create a crisis of need or relevance to overcome their naturally occurring stop reflex. The students may be taught that time may expire before they have achieved their compelling desire and/or their personal goal. Students may be taught to project or estimate a timeline for achieving their compelling desire and/or their personal goal. Students may be taught to make a plan for completing their compelling desire and/or their personal goal and to determine if the estimated time to the plan exceeds the time they want to wait. Students may be taught to recognize their dissatisfaction with the length of the timeline for completion may be a crisis of need or relevance that may motivate them shift their energy for their plan. FIG. 2, infra, depicts a crisis of need or relevance.

FIG. 2 is a pictorial representation illustrating a crisis of need or relevance. In FIG. 2 the likelihood of reaching a goal is plotted versus time. It is immediately apparent that the likelihood of reaching a goal increases with the amount of time spent in activities powering reaching the goal. The time axis is split into the past and the future by the present time. The present is time T0. Without the method of the present invention, the projected slope of the line of likelihood of reaching a goal over time is the result of old habits and routines of dwelling time between new brain and old brain activities remains the same as in past time (left of T0) and the goal is accomplished at time T2. With the method of the present invention, the projected slope of the line of likelihood of reaching a goal over time is the result of new habits and routines of creative energy or dwelling time shifted from old brain activities to new brain activities increases and the goal may be accomplished at time T2, taking less time. In FIG. 2 the energy shift represented by the steeper slope of the line of likelihood of reaching a goal over time that is the result of new habits and routines of creative energy or dwelling time (present to T1) is an increased efficiency in achieving the goal. FIG. 2 may be presented to students as part of the method 1 of the present invention.

The techniques taught to the students to overcome the stop reflex due to homeostasis in order to cause students to engage in the activity and/or carry it out in the steps 112, 114, 116, and/or 118 of the method 1 may be used in any order. Alternatively, the students may be taught to use at least one of the steps 112, 114, 116, and/or 118, or any combinations thereof. In the steps 112, 114, 116, and/or 118 of the method 1, the students may be taught to use the following techniques to overcome the stop reflex in order to cause students to engage in the activity and/or carry it to override all obstacles and barriers: identify their talent-matched desired contribution to others; identify parallel pleasure anchors, i.e., rewards to promote and sustain your pursuit interest; elevate their gravitational energy. Hereinafter, gravitational energy is their creative energy that may unify and focus the students' mental, physical and spiritual energies, i.e., their attention, interest, pleasure, determination and endurance; increase their mental and physical processing speed; and increase their closure rate for achieving or accomplishing their compelling desire and personal goal.

In step 130, students may be instructed to self-monitor themselves whether they have achieved their compelling desire or personal goal, as identified in the step 95, supra.

If, as a result of surveillance and/or self-monitoring and/or self-governance, the students conclude they may not have achieved their compelling desire or personal goal, the students are instructed as in step 140, of the method 1, to reiterate steps 100 to 130. Alternatively, if, as a result of surveillance and/or self-monitoring and/or self-governance, the students conclude they may have may have achieved their compelling desire or personal goal, or if the students decide they no longer want to pursue their compelling desire or personal goal, the students are instructed to proceed to step 145, of the method 1, described infra.

In the step 145 of the method 1, the students may be instructed to reiterate steps 95 to 130 of the method 1, as depicted in FIG. 1A, supra. FIG. 1F depicts another embodiment of the step 115 of the method 1, wherein the students may be instructed to redistribute and rebalance their initial foreground recreation energy, FGE_(r), as in a success CA•rs redistribution 45 in a direction of the arrow 47. In FIG. 1F, the students may have redistributed their initial foreground recreation energy, FGE_(r), such that a portion of their initial foreground recreation energy, FGE_(r) may be reallocated as new success final foreground Creative Ambitions and/or Creative Actions or sustained right actions energy FGE_(CA′), such that their final Creative Ambitions and/or Creative Actions or sustained right actions energy, FGE_(CA′), includes present success FGE_(CA′) and new succes FGE_(CA′) to accomplish the students' moment-to-moment thoughts or sustained right thinking and behaviors. The students may be instructed that such new success may require management and reallocation of their initial recreation or survival foreground creative energy, FGE_(r,s), rather than diminishing final present success foreground creative energy, FGE_(CA′). Here final foreground creative energy, FGE_(r′,s′) is equal to the final foreground creative energy the students allocate to recreation, FGE_(r′) and the final foreground creative energy the students allocate to survival, FGE_(s′). Therefore, the students may be instructed that one goal of success is to preserve present success.

Alternatively, in the step 145 of the method 1, the students may be instructed to reiterate steps 95 to 130 of the method 1, as depicted in FIG. 1A, supra, such that the students may be instructed to redistribute and rebalance their initial recreation energy, FGE_(r), as in a success CA•rs redistribution 15 and 16, as in FIGS. 1C and 1D, supra. In this embodiment, the students may have redistributed their initial recreation energy, E_(r), such that a portion of their initial recreation energy, E_(r) may be reallocated as new success final Creative Ambitions and/or Creative Actions or sustained right actions energy E_(CA′), such that their final Creative Ambitions and/or Creative Actions or sustained right actions energy, E_(CA′), includes present success E_(CA′) and new succes E_(CA′) to accomplish the students' moment-to-moment thoughts or sustained right thinking and behaviors. The students may be instructed that such new success may require management and reallocation of their initial recreation or survival creative energy, E_(r,s), rather than diminishing final present success creative energy, E_(CA′). Here final creative recreation and survival energy, E_(r′s′), is equal to the final creative energy the students allocate to recreation, E_(r′) and the final creative energy the students allocate to survival, E_(s′). Therefore, the students may be instructed that one goal of success is to preserve present success.

The students may be taught that redistributing and rebalancing their dwelling time can reclaim their loss of their boundary-less or free spirit. The student is further taught that success can be achieved by the combination of rebalancing dwelling time, de-emphasizing self-preservation and recreation (or pleasure), reclaiming their carefree creative nature, promoting adventure and change and promoting success-creative activities.

FIG. 3 is a diagram of a worksheet that may be used to practice the present invention. The worksheet in FIG. 10 may be used by either the student to apply what they have learned or as a tool in the teaching of the method of the present invention to the student.

In Field (4) Select, the student is instructed to select at least one of the possible or potential activities to actually implement based on the corresponding categorization made in Field (3). In Field (5) Increases to Reward, the student indicates what they can do to increase their perceived pleasure by implementation of the selected activities as taught supra. This may include inclusion and/or examination of sub-activities within the selected possible or potential activities. In Field (6) Decreases to Reward, the student indicates what to look out for that will increase their perceived pain by implementation of the selected activities as taught supra. The student then told to develop strategies to minimize these increases to perceived pain. In Field (7) Dwelling Time Negatives, the student is instructed to list what self-monitoring and/or self-governance should be done to minimize the potentially destructive dwelling time as taught supra. In Field (8) Dwelling Time Positives, the student is instructed to list what self-monitoring and/or self-governance should be put in place to maximize the potentially constructive dwelling time, as taught supra.

The students now have a plan, constructed according to the present invention, for successfully achieving the personal goal that they may implement.

Generally, the method 1 described herein, using the worksheet illustrated in FIG. 3 and described supra, may be practiced with a general-purpose computer and the method may be coded as a set of instructions on removable or hard media for use by the general purpose computer. FIG. 5 is a schematic block diagram of a general-purpose computer for practicing the present invention. In FIG. 5, computer system 400 has at least one microprocessor or central processing unit (CPU) 405. CPU 405 is interconnected via a system bus 410 to a random access memory (RAM) 415, a read-only memory (ROM) 420, an input/output (I/O) adapter 425 for a connecting a removable data and/or program storage device 430 and a mass data and/or program storage device 435, a user interface adapter 440 for connecting a keyboard 445 and a mouse 450, a port adapter 455 for connecting a data port 460 and a display adapter 465 for connecting a display device 470.

ROM 420 contains the basic operating system for computer system 400. The operating system may alternatively reside in RAM 415 or elsewhere as is known in the art. Examples of removable data and/or program storage device 430 include magnetic media such as floppy drives and tape drives and optical media such as CD ROM drives. Examples of mass data and/or program storage device 435 include hard disk drives and non-volatile memory such as flash memory. In addition to keyboard 445 and mouse 450, other user input devices such as trackballs, writing tablets, pressure pads, microphones, light pens and position-sensing screen displays may be connected to user interface 440. Examples of display devices include cathode-ray tubes (CRT) and liquid crystal displays (LCD).

A computer program with an appropriate application interface may be created by one of skill in the art and stored on the system or a data and/or program storage device to simplify the practicing of this invention. In operation, information for or the computer program created to run the present invention is loaded on the appropriate removable data and/or program storage device 430, fed through data port 460 or typed in using keyboard 445. In a first example, the slides illustrated in the Appendix may be written to a storage media and self-presented by a student. In a second example, the slides illustrated in the Appendix and the worksheet of FIG. 3 may be written to a storage media and self-presented by a student, the worksheet being presented at appropriate intervals during the presentation of the slides of the Appendix and student input accepted for predetermined fields of the worksheet at predetermined points in the presentation of the slides.

FIG. 6 depicts an embodiment in which the Success Roadmap 414, as in step 115 of the method 1, may be a “Success Roadmap—Team Up For Life” process, comprising the following “STAR” categories: Spirit, Thought, Action, Results, and Surveillance, self-monitoring and or self-governance 413 (for monitoring Creative Ambitions and/or Creative Action or Dwelling Time, DT). Each thought or action may receive input from a “CA•rs” category, wherein the CA•rs categories are Creative Ambitions and/or Creative Actions or sustained right actions, Recreation and Survival. FIG. 6 depicts External Synergistic and Internal Creative Inputs to the CA•rs categories, wherein the inputs may be possible or potential old and new brain activities and the student may be taught to identify the activities as old and new brain activities and to characterize the inputs into new brain Creative Ambitions and/or Creative Actions or sustained right actions by increasing his dwell time for new brain activities. External Synergistic Input may be input from a source “outside of” and “external to” the student that creates an enhanced combined effect. The student may be instructed to find External Synergistic Input from a book, work of art, a person who is a kindred spirit, a person who is a professional colleague, a person who is a loved one, another student, and combinations thereof. The External Synergistic Input may be suggestions and inspirations for Creative Ambitions and/or Creative Actions or sustained right actions for the student when it is the External Synergistic Input to the CA•rs categories. Cooperative interactions or sustained right actions between agencies such as the student and the External Synergistic Input may result in “synergism,” where synergism means a simultaneous action of separate agencies that, together, have greater total effect than the sum of their individual effects. Internal Creative Input may be input arising from within the student resulting from instructing the student to be original, expressive, artistic, clever, cool, demiurgic, deviceful, fertile, formative, gifted, hip, ingenious, innovational, innovative, innovatory, inspired; inventive, original, originative, productive, prolific, stimulating, visionary, and imaginative that may be suggestions and inspirations for Creative Ambitions and/or Creative Actions or sustained right actions for the student when the Internal Creative Inputs are input into the CA•rs categories.

The combined inputs from External Synergistic and Internal Creative Inputs may be a talent pool that may be a total talent that results from allocating to the STAR Steps as depicted in FIG. 6, supra, when the student, such as the sales personnel, is instructed in step 115 of the method 1, supra. Thus, the present invention provides a method and system for teaching students, such as sales personnel, to achieve success in meeting goals that effect their spiritual, emotional or physical well-being.

FIG. 7 depicts a flow chart of a method 500, for teaching success to students, such as sales personnel, such as, for example, to students, such as sales personnel, who sell medical treatment compositions or devices to buyers, such as druggists, physicians, osteopathic medical service providers such as physicians' assistants, registered nurses, or licensed practical nurses if such osteopathic medical service providers may be under the supervision, control and responsibility of a licensed osteopathic physician, other physicians' assistants, pharmacists or support staff of physicians, hospitals, clinics or pharmacies. The method 500 comprises: a step 510, instructing the students, such as sales personnel to identify a compelling career or sales goal; a step 515, instructing the students, such as sales personnel, to list possible old brain activities that result in SLOW CA•rs and possible new brain activities that result in FAST CA•rs; a step 520, instructing the students, such as sales personnel, that FAST CA•rs have a high yield of success and SLOW CA•rs have a low yield of success; a step 525, instructing the students, such as sales personnel, to select and implement one or more of the possible new brain activities associated with FAST CA•rs; a step 530, instructing the students, such as sales personnel, to utilize a success roadmap to overcome their set point or their stop reflex or their natural biological tendency maintain their set point that we have termed homeostasis; a step 535, instructing the students, such as sales personnel, to ask themselves whether they have achieved their compelling desire or personal goal; a step 540 repeating steps 510-535 if the students, such as sales personnel, answer in the negative that they haven't achieved their compelling desire or personal goal; a step 545, repeating steps 505-545 if the students, such as sales personnel, answer affirmatively that they have another compelling desire or personal goal, such as to achieve a new success; and a step 547, exiting the method 500 if the students, such as sales personnel, answer in the negative that they have another compelling desire or personal goal.

The medical treatment compositions may be pharmaceutical products, such as drugs. The medical treatment devices may be diagnostic equipment, such as, temperature or blood pressure monitoring equipment, such as manometers, thermometers, specimen containers, sterile dressings, equipment for analyzing blood, urine or other body fluids such as for performing chemical testing such as for drug concentrations, equipment for analyzing blood, such as for counting red and white cells. Alternatively, the medical treatment devices may be instructional aids such as audio visual presentations such as videos or cassettes. The instructional aids may provide information on the benefits of the medical treatment compositions, such as for treatment of mental conditions or diseases, or instruction for administering the medical treatment compositions to patients, instruction on the use of medical treatment devices, or data about the medical treatment compositions and devices. Alternatively, the method 500 could be used for teaching success to any appropriate student, such as a sales person selling products that may be characterized as having at least one drug or chemical composition or at least one medical treatment device. Hereinafter, the medical treatment compositions or devices are known as “medical treatment products.” The appropriate student, such as a sales person may be any sales person selling any medical composition or medical device meant for treatment of humans or other animals such as pets or other animals under a human's care.

FIG. 8 depicts embodiments of the step 530 of the method 500, “instructing the students, such as sales personnel, to utilize the success roadmap 50 as depicted in FIG. 1E supra, 414 as depicted in FIG. 6 supra or 600 as depicted in FIG. 9, and described infra, to achieve FAST CA•rs,” comprising: a step 550, instructing the students, such as sales personnel, to utilize activity kindling or controlled hyper-arousal to overcome a naturally occurring stop reflex in themselves or their customer; or a step 555, instructing the students, such as sales personnel, to utilize self-deprivation to overcome, suppress or override their naturally occurring stop reflex in themselves or their customer; or a step 560, instructing the students, such as sales personnel, to increase their success startle threshold or activity kindling threshold; or a step 565, instructing the students, such as sales personnel, to create a crisis of need or relevance; and a step 570, instructing the students, such as sales personnel, to proceed to the step 535 of the method 500.

In the step 550, the sales personnel is taught that utilizing the activity kindling or controlled hyper-arousal to overcome the naturally occurring stop reflex in their customer may include utilizing association hyperarousal, that may fuel behavior of their customer to use a product. The sales personnel may be taught to intensify the association hyperarousal of their customer by making it easy for the customer, such as a physician, to obtain information about a drug, such as, for example, by accessing the manufacturer's web site, thereby increasing the customer's attachment and inducing the customer to “buy-in” to their product.

In the step 550, the sales personnel may be taught that utilizing the activity kindling or controlled hyper-arousal to overcome the naturally occurring stop reflex in their customer, such as a physician, may include positive comments from patients and families about the product, that cause the customer to have a positive feeling that results from being identified as a “smart doctor”, fewer call-backs from patients for the customer and the customer's staff to manage, and combinations thereof.

In the step 555, the sales personnel is taught that utilizing self-deprivation to overcome, suppress or override the naturally occurring stop reflex in their customer includes utilizing self-deprivation of their customer, wherein the sales personnel may be taught that utilizing self-deprivation of their customer may include giving up perks given by alternative suppliers of a product that the sales personnel sells.

FIG. 9 depicts a success roadmap 600, that the student, such as the sales personnel, may have been taught to use as in the steps 530-570 of the method 500, infra, in order to overcome a set point, or a stop reflex or homeostasis in order to overcome their natural resistance to change, such as, for example, the Natural Protective Resistance (NPR) to change or novelty. Students, such as the sales personnel, may be instructed to achieve their compelling desire, their personal goal and success by instructing them to utilize the Success Roadmap 600. As defined in the present invention, “STARS” is an acronym, wherein “S” represents said students' “Ideal Self,” and/or “Spirited Living or Sustained Spirit Energy,” “T” represents said students' “thoughts or sustained right thinking,” “A” represents said students' “actions or sustained right actions,” or “activities” and “S” in the acronym represents “surveillance,” “self-monitoring,” and/or “self-governance.” As defined in the present invention, instructing students to utilize “STARS” means instructing them to power their thoughts or sustained right thinking, “T”, “actions or sustained right actions,” “A”, and “results,” “R,” inter alia, from the students' creative energy of their “Ideal Self” and/or “Spirited Living or Sustained Spirit Energy.” As defined in the present invention, the method, wherein the students' thoughts or sustained right thinking, “T”, “actions or sustained right actions,” “A”, and “results,” “R.” are powered by their creative energy of their “Ideal Self” and/or “Spirited Living or Sustained Spirit Energy” and subsequently subjected to “surveillance” and/or “self-monitoring” and/or “self governance,” “S” may include the steps 651-655 of the Success Roadmap 600, as depicted in FIG. 9, and described in associated text and may be named “FAST CA•rs MAKE HOLLYWOOD STARS.” The FAST CA•rs are the students' creative energy that may be inputted into “S,” “T,” “A,” to fuel or power creative spirit (“S”), thoughts (“T”), and Actions (“A”), as depicted by the arrows in the direction from the FAST CA•rs toward “S,” “T,” and “A.” Alternatively, the “S,” “T,” and “A” may provide right spirit, right thoughts and right action, respectively, to fuel or power re-distribution of the students', such as sales personnels', creative energy toward their Creative Ambitions, CA, to achieve their FAST CA•rs, as depicted by the arrows in the direction from the “S,” “T,” and “A” toward their respective FAST CA•rs. Hollywood STARS include all their extraordinary successes. As defined in the present invention, the term “Fast CA•rs Make Hollywood STARS” is a slogan that may mean the students' extraordinary successes, i.e., Hollywood STARS, may depend upon their ability to access their creative energy Fast CA•rs. Students may become a STAR by never allowing their minds to dwell upon either, too much partying (recreation), or excessive concerns about their survival. Students may become STARS by centering their minds and actions upon pursuits of a creative nature.

In some embodiments success may require the interaction of the students' Spirit and mind (Thoughts) to set off a sequence of Creative Actions, CA, that bind together the students' desired Results under their watchful Surveillance and/or Self-monitoring and/or Self/governance.

In some embodiments, “STARS” includes powering the students' thoughts or sustained right thinking, “T” and “actions or sustained right actions,” “A” by providing the students' creative energy from FAST CA•rs resulting from the Success CA•rs redistributions 15, 16, and 35, as depicted in FIGS. 1C, 1D, and 1F, as depicted, infra, and described in step 115 of the method 1, as depicted in FIG. 1A, supra.

EXAMPLE 1

Use of the Success Roadmap 600 as in the step 530 of the method 500 when the students', such as the sales personnels' desire or personal goal is compelling.

Referring to FIG. 9, the students, such as sales personnel, may be taught to explore their Soul or Spirit “S” as the ultimate source of all their successes or Results “R”. The students, such as sales personnel, may be asked “What do George Washington, Denzel Washington, and Madonna all have in common?” The students, such as sales personnel may be taught that passion geared toward the specific thing, i.e. Results “R,” made people such as, for example, George Washington, Denzel Washington and Madonna so successful. The students, such as sales personnel may be taught “to find your own passion.” The students, such as sales personnel, may be taught to ask themselves, “What's going to stir you? What's going to jazz you up and what is the thing that you can't, or you don't want to go through life and not accomplish?” The students, such as sales personnel, may be taught to explore their Soul or Spirit “S” as the ultimate source of all their successes, i.e. Results “R”. The students, such as sales personnel, may be taught a method 700 for aligning their goals with their passion, comprising a step 710, in which the students, such as sales personnel, may be asked to create a “must” list of things they want to accomplish before their life is over. For example, in the step 710 of the method 700, the students, such as sales personnel, may complete the statement: “Before my life is over I must ______, wherein the students, such as sales personnel, may complete the statement verbally or in writing. The students, such as sales personnel, may be taught that intuitively, they know what their goals are. They may be warned that a lot of people may say, “I don't know what my goals are, or I don't know what I want to do.” The students, such as sales personnel, may be taught that they may identify more than one compelling desire or personal goal, and that the goals may not be related, have a common theme, be in harmony with the other identified goals, or lead them to the same place. Alternatively, the goals may arise as remedies for dissatisfaction or sources of happiness. Repairing, re-establishing or creating relationships, losing weight, changing professions or occupations, learning a new skill, earning a degree, community service, becoming a caregiver, developing a talent are examples of compelling desires and personal goals. In the step 720 of the method 700, the students, such as sales personnel, may be taught to challenge the statement in order to test whether the stated goal is a compelling goal or personal desire. Alternatively, in the step 720 of the method 700, the students, such as sales personnel, may be taught to challenge each other, whether in order to test whether the stated goal is a compelling goal or personal desire? If the students, such as the sales personnel, determine that their goal is compelling, the students, such as the sales personnel may be instructed to proceed to the step 730 of the method 700, in which the students, such as sales personnel, may be taught to get into and maintain a state of passion. The key to success might be summarized in one word, passion. If you get into and maintain a state of passion, you'll experience everything else in life as a distraction. Passion creates focus. It is power. Passion knows not fear, guilt or shame. Passion is a stranger to self-doubt and inadequacy. It draws you towards creativity and creativity generates action. Passion is wasted on no one and herein lies the danger of suppressing passion. If you continue to ignore you calling in life, then eventually your flame of passion will die. Although the embers of your passion will continue to glow, eventually the light extinguishes and your passion dies. In time your spirit also dies. You then become an empty shell of your true self, awaiting the passage of time until your death. Your heart aches with sadness and longing for the bright future that could have been. You mourn the past and long for the possibilities of a future vibrant and full of life, a future filled with success and laughter. In the step 740 of the method 700, the students, such as sales personnel, may be taught to take action.

Alternatively, if the students, such as the sales personnel, determine that their goal is not compelling, the students, such as the sales personnel may be instructed to proceed to the step 750 of the method 700, in which the students, such as sales personnel, may be taught to get into and maintain a state of passion even if they are not certain that their goal or desire is compelling. Hereinafter, a not compelling goal may be vague or not clearly formed in the students', such as the sales personnels' mind.

EXAMPLE 2

Referring to FIG. 9, Use of the Success Roadmap 600 as in the step 530 of the method 500 when the students', such as the sales personnels' desire or personal goal may not be compelling.

FIGS. 10 and 11 depict the method 700 for teaching success. In the step 750 of the method 700, the student, such as the sales personnel may be instructed to determine whether they have a sense of something they want to do, and to determine whether they have a enough passion, i.e., to follow the steps 651-655 of the Success Roadmap 600, as depicted in FIG. 9 and described in associated text, herein. In some embodiments, success means taking action, as in the step 740 of the method 700 in the step 730 of the method 700, the student, such as the sales personnel, may be instructed start determining whether they have passion. The student, such as the sales personnel may be instructed that determining whether they have sufficient passion to act in the step 730 of the method 700 is for the student to state, “Okay, timre is expiring and we are too.” In the step 730, the students, such as the sales personnel may be instructed to determine whether they can start making some evaluation, some assessment whether time is running short to accomplish their compelling desire or personal goal. For example, the students, such as the sales personnel may be instructed to just go to the library and just explore something. Alternatively, the students, such as the sales personnel may be instructed to sit down with someone and talk through a vague general goal or desire that they have. In the step 740, the students, such as the sales personnel, may be instructed to ask “is there some specific action they can start to take because it's a question of creating momentum. In the step 740, the students, such as the sales personnel, may be instructed they don't have to think they have their goal or desire fuilly formed in their minds. For example, in the step 740, they don't need to know “I've got to know that I want to go and get a Ph. D. in astronomy and then I've got to go off to university.” In the step 750, the students, such as the sales personnel, may be instructed to get into and maintain a state of passion even if they are not certain that their goal or desire is compelling. In the step 760, the students, such as the sales personnel, may be instructed to go to step 740, i.e., to ask is there some specific action they can start to take even if they are not certain their identified goal is compelling or a personal goal.

EXAMPLE 3

Use of Self-Modeling in the Success Roadmap 600 as in the step 530 of the method 500.

FIGS. 12-13 depicts a method 800 for teaching success to a student, such as sales personnel, using Self-Modeling in the Success Roadmap 600 as in the step 530 of the method 500. In the step 810, the student, such as sales personnel, may be instructed to reflect all the successes . . . big and small . . . you've already accomplished in your life. In so doing, I hope that you realize that you are no stranger to success. In the step 820, the student, such as sales personnel, may be instructed to determine where you are at, at this moment. In the step 820, the student such as sales personnel, may determine a starting point, i.e., point “A.” The starting point is their current level of accomplishment of their compelling desire or personal goal. In the step 820, the student such as sales personnel, may assess what's working in their lives, and what's not. In the step 820, the student, such as sales personnel, may be taught that those areas which may not be working may be areas that need improvement . . . that those areas that may not be working may become their lever or opportunity for creating success. In the step 830, the student such as sales personnel, may be taught to determine where they'd like to be, or, define their success goals. The latter point, where they'd like to be, may be called their point “B.” their destination. The students should be taught that they don't want to get into their car and not knowing where they are heading, i.e., not knowing where their point B or destination may be. Neither do they want to follow steps 651-655 as in the success roadmap, 600, as in FIG. 9, not knowing where they are heading, i.e., not knowing where their point B or destination may be. In the step 830, the student, such as sales personnel, may be taught to identify the people in their support community who may really help them here, by asking questions and challenging them, such as, for example:

-   -   “Why are these goals important to you?”     -   “How will they make you happier than you are now?”     -   “What are the personal and global payoffs of your success         goals?”         In the steps 810-830, the student, such as sales personnel may         be taught that once they've determined point “A” and “B”—they         can then begin their journey to success, in accordance with the         steps 651-655 of the success roadmap 600, as in FIG. 9. In the         step 840, the student, such as sales personnel, may be taught to         determine “sustained activities” that will lead them to their         success. A “sustained activity” is one that may be maintained or         “kept in existence” for a long duration. For example, moderately         paced, sustained activities promote weight loss more effectively         than brief, high-intensity health club workouts based on the “no         pain, no gain” mantra. Walking, bicycling, even climbing stairs         during TV commercials can contribute to weight loss if performed         consistently, the researchers said. The activities can be as         simple as parking at the far end of the mall and walking the         long route to the store. Determining the sustained activities,         as in the step 840 can be a difficult process. But again, your         group can provide you with a lot of insight and feedback here .         . . someone might suggest a method or approach that you never         would have thought of before and that might spark an idea in         someone else. Before you know it, you have built up a whole list         of sustained activities that can put you on the road to         achieving your success, as in the steps 651-655 of the roadmap         of success 600 and step 840 of the method 800. After the         student, such as sales personnel, have identified at least one         sustained activities in, for example, a list, the next step 850         in the method 800 should be for the student, such as sales         personnel, and their group to recognize the strengths they         already possess that may assist them in achieving their success         goals. The step 850 may be called self-modeling success. In the         step 850, the student, such as sales personnel, can learn from         themselves and from their past successes. And self modeling, as         in the step 850 of the method 800 may provide a boost or         advantage for a new success endeavor. In the step 860, the         student, such as sales personnel may be taught to take inventory         on how they're currently allocating their daily energy, and         analyzing where there is room to reallocate or shift their         energy away from survival “s” or recreation “r” wasteful         activities, toward their creative ambitions or creative         activities “CA”, that is, removing their feet from the brakes.         Students, such as sales personnel, may be taught to want to take         their feet off the brakes and move towards activities of         Creative Ambition, “CA”, as depicted in FIG. 8, supra. Students,         such as sales personnel, may be taught that performing the         Success CA•rs redistributions 15 and 16, as depicted in FIGS. 1B         and 1C and described supra, may result in success in achieving         their personal goals. Alternatively, in the step 860 of the         method 800, the student, such as sales personnel, may be taught         to “marshall or husband” their total energy to allocate more         energy toward Creative Ambitions or Creative Activities, CA.         “Husbanding or marshalling” their energy in the step 860 of the         method 800 means the student, such as sales personnel, may find         they don't need 8 hours of sleep every night. Maybe they only         need 7.5 hours. Well, by reducing their sleep by just a half         hour each night, they've created three and a half extra hours         for themselves each week to engage in success-oriented         activities.

Referring to FIGS. 7-9 and the step 655 of the success roadmap 600, supra, in the step 870 of the method 800, the student, such as the sales personnel may be taught to utilize self-governance. Self-governance occurs when the students, such as sales personnel, take active control of their creative energy, their creative ambitions, CA, their focus and their thoughts to channel their actions towards creating the results you desire. For example, if the students, such as sales personnel, need to increase their sales to, for example, the prescribing physician, they may be taught in the Success Roadmaps 50, 414, and 600, that their stop reflex may cause them to stop moving along the paths of the success maps 50 and 414, and 600, such as getting stuck in the at least one of the steps 51-56 of the Success Roadmap 50, or the steps indicated by the perpendicular lines between the STARS categories: +U,uns Spirit, Thought, Action, Results, and Surveillance, self-monitoring and or self-governance 413 of the Success Roadmap 414, or getting stuck in the at least one steps 61-65 of the Success Roadmap 600. In the steps 51-56 of the Success Roadmap 50, in the step 413 of the Success Roadmap 414, in the step 655 of the Success Roadmap 600, the student, such as the sales personnel, may be taught self-governance in order to overcome a set point, or a stop reflex or homeostasis in order to overcome their natural resistance to change, such as, for example, the Natural Protective Resistance (NPR) to change or novelty. This is self-governance. The best way for the students, such as the sales personnel, to achieve self-governance, as in the steps 51-56 of the Success Roadmap 50, in the step 413 of the Success Roadmap 414, in the step 655 of the Success Roadmap 600, is to teach the students, such as the sales personnel to maintain a balance in favor or redistributing their creative energy such that their Creative Ambitions and Creative Activities “CA” are favored over survival “s” or recreation “r”. For example, teaching the students, such as the sales personnel, that maintaining this balance favorable to CA is what they are trying to achieve. As the students, such as the sales personnel, actively increase the CA activities that promote their success and achieve their goal, the students, such as the sales personnel, need to simultaneously decrease those activities that are not contributing to thier success and are not essential to their survival. In a sense, “maintaining this balance” means trade “instant pleasures” for “long term pleasures.” For example, Apple Pie is a symbol for short term pleasures because the pleasure only lasts while you are enjoying its sweetness and other good tastes. Alternatively, diamonds are a symbol for long term pleasures, such as achieving compelling desires or personal goals, because diamonds last forever. The students, such as the sales personnel may give up the short term pleasure of working fewer hours for the long term pleasure of knowing you have increased your sales two months from now, by working longer hours in order to make personal contacts with, for example, the prescribing physician. Alternatively, the students, such as the sales personnel may give up the short term pleasure of eating a piece of cake for the long term pleasure of knowing how great you will look at a class reunion or a wedding two months from now. “Maintaining this balance” means shifting the students', such as the sales personnel's enjoyment away from short term pleasures such as lying on the couch to indulge their long term pleasures such as Creative Ambitions, CA, by working-out or exercising at a sustained frequency, such as, for example, daily. Of course it is always a challenge to take the steps 810-870 of the method 800. How do you get yourself off the couch into the gym? It is the same question of how do you get used to driving a racecar at 160 mph when you are only used to driving your car at 60 mph. First of all, your desire to change must be compelling enough. For example, once you have determined that looking great for a wedding or your class reunion in two months is extremely important to you, you have conquered the first obstacle. However, the next step is to figure out what you need to do to get to your goal, by putting your brain on notice that you must change, you will set success in motion, in accordance with the steps 810-870 of the method 800.

In the steps 810-870 of the method 800, the student, such as sales personnel may be taught to challenge themselves to ask: “Which is more important to you? Long term pleasures such as Diamonds or short term pleasures such as apple pie?” In the steps 810-870 of the method 800, the student, such as sales personnel may be taught that the self-deprivation, and self-sacrifice, i.e. foregoing short term pleasures, such as instant gratification or Apple Pie that may be required to achieve the results “R” along the route of the success roadmap, as in the steps 51-56 of the Success Roadmap 50, in the Spirit, “S”, Thought, “T,” Action, “A,” and Results, “R” steps of the Success Roadmap 414, and in the steps 651-655 of the Success Roadmap 600, may be to teach the students, such as the sales personnel that they may not need to continue the deprivation, and self-sacrificing at the same high level in order to maintain their new success, i.e., their Point B.

In the steps 810-870 of the method 800, the student, such as sales personnel may be taught to pay attention to how important trophies are in our culture and in our lives. We like to honor great performances.

There is:

-   -   The Stanley Cup for the best hockey team     -   The Academy awards for best actor     -   The Pulitzer prize for literature     -   The Nobel prize for contributing to world peace     -   The list goes on and on.

In the steps 810-870 of the method 800, the student, such as sales personnel may be taught that accomplishing their goal makes them feel good. In the steps 810-870 of the method 800, the student, such as sales personnel may be taught that they all want to be the best at something or at least to know that in life, they have given their best! The personal goal may be being the best stay home mom, the best quarterback, the best trombone player or the greatest president. In the steps 810-870 of the method 800, the student, such as sales personnel may be taught that these are all worthwhile goals.

In the steps 810-870 of the method 800, the student, such as sales personnel may be taught that always doing your best and giving your best in every endeavor matters. In the steps 810-870 of the method 800, the student, such as sales personnel may be taught to determine how safe do they want to play it, when they are challenged. Of course, achieving creativity and success using the steps 810-870 of the method 800 usually requires the students, such as sales personnel, some type of risk taking. And they need to be conscious of that. But, the students, such as sales personnel, may be taught to ask themselves, “do they want to drive the roadmap to success 50, as depicted in FIG. 1E, supra, the Success Roadmap 414, as depicted in FIG. 6, supra, or the Success Roadmap 600, as depicted in FIG. 9 supra, in an armor-plated tank? In the steps 810-870 of the method 800, the students, such as sales personnel, may be taught to determine how safe do they need to be? If they can you get comfortable with getting into a Ferrari and stepping on the gas, this is what they need to do in order to accelerate their successes, in accordance with the steps 810-870 of the method 800. In the steps 810-870 of the method 800, the students, such as sales personnel, may be taught to bring along their success team, since going on a trip all alone isn't so much fin. You can always use the support of a good friend to make the journey through steps 810-870, as in the method 800, that much easier. In the steps 810-870 of the method 800, the students, such as sales personnel, may be taught working in groups makes the journey through steps 810-870, as in the method 800, that much easier. In the steps 810-870 of the method 800, the students, such as sales personnel, may be taught their success team can be an amazing source of support and inspiration. In the steps 810-870 of the method 800, the students, such as sales personnel, may be taught their success team can help keep them on the roadmap of success 50, as depicted in FIG. 1E, supra, the Success Roadmap 414, as depicted in FIG. 6, supra, or the Success Roadmap 600, as depicted in FIG. 9 supra. In the steps 810-870 of the method 800, the students, such as sales personnel, may be taught, at times when they are confronted with the choice of trading short-term pleasures for long-term pleasure, to ask, “Are they willing to give up diamonds for apple pie?”

FIG. 14 depicts a process 900 for re-allocating creative energy, such as, for example, Spirit, The Fuel of Success, into Creative Ambition Fast CARS or into Non-Creative Enticements: Slow CARS, wherein CA arrows indicate a direction of flow of the creative energy to fuel the symbols “diamonds” 910 that symbolize long term pleasures such as New Successes and Old Successes, and R and S arrows indicate a direction of flow of the creative energy to fuel the symbols “Apple Pie” 920 that symbolize Recreation, “r” and Survival, self preservation, self-gratification, and short term pleasures, “s” Risistance is shown as a restriction for creative energy that may be directed to CA.

Referring to FIGS. 12-13, “Apple pie certainly is nice—it is sweet (which is the element of instant pleasure) and it will satisfy my hunger (the survival, or Self-preservation aspect, s,). In the steps 810-870 of the method 800, the students, such as sales personnel, may be taught to conclude they are after something that is solid and long lasting; to conclude, “I want that trophy called success. Once I eat apple pie, it is consumed and nothing's left, while, diamonds are forever.”

In one embodiment of the step 530 of the method 500 as depicted in FIG. 8, students, such as sales personnel, may be taught that performing the Success CA•rs redistributions 15 and 16, as depicted in FIGS. 1B and 1C and described supra, may result in success in achieving their personal goals. Students, such as sales personnel, may be taught that performing the Success CA•rs redistributions 15 and 16, may result from increased use of the new brain activities and a decreased use of the old brain activities in their day to day lives, transforming their SLOW CA•rs to FAST CA•rs, in accordance with the method 500 of the present invention.

Old brain activities of the sales personnel may be selected from the group consisting of lack of an understanding of what forces motivate individual prescribing physicians, lack of confidence, lack of self-esteem, poor morale, rejection sensitivity, the students, such as sales personnel not knowing their true worth to the physician, not buying into a sales message or philosophy, impatience or too easily discouraged, fear of using support systems, fear of exposure, and combinations thereof.

New brain activities of the sales personnel may be selected from the group consisting of diligently applying techniques of creative self-governance to increase success efficiency, feeling attached to the product that the sales personnel sell, having a positive attitude, overcoming rejection and combinations thereof.

Teaching sales personnel to overcome rejection may include teaching them to breach a communications gap or teaching them to have empathy or to improve reliability. Teaching sales personnel to breach the communications gap may include teaching them to read between the lines in conversations with the prescribing physician and teaching them how to perceive what has been unspoken. Teaching the sales personnel to have empathy may include teaching them to understand that prescribing may be based upon habit or folklore, to understand that physicians may be inundated or overwhelmed with problems with practice management and patient management, to understand that physicians feel they have been marketed to death, to understand that physicians have a fear of trying something new, to understand that physicians have a resentment or anger towards the entire pharmaceutical industry, and combinations thereof. Teaching the sales personnel to have empathy may include teaching them to overcome old brain activities of a prescribing physician that may include hostility, bitterness, skepticism, cynicism, burnout, disrespect towards the sales personnel, unwillingness to hear a message or to listen to the sales personnel, poor self confidence and combinations thereof. Teaching the sales personnel to have empathy may include teaching them to overcome old brain activities of a prescribing physician that include that the prescribing physician may be afraid of killing or harming his patients, afraid of being sued, afraid of being ridiculed by his colleagues, or the prescribing physician may be unwilling to forgo hidden incentives from HMOs not to prescribe.

In the step 530 of the method 500, the students, such as sales personnel, may be instructed to allocate more creative energy and Dwelling Time to power and achieve his or her Creative Ambitions and/or Creative Actions or sustained right actions and/or Success-Creative Activity, according to the Success CA•rs 15 and 16 redistributions as depicted in FIGS. 1B and 1C and described supra, to achieve their personal goals, success, happiness and legacy. When students, such as sales personnel, are instructed to allocate more Creative Ambition and/or Creative Actions or sustained right actions energy, E_(CA), and Dwelling Time to power and achieve their Creative Ambitions and/or Creative Actions or sustained right actions and/or Success-Creative Activity in the CA•rs redistribution as depicted in FIGS. 1B and 1C, supra, and described herein, they may achieve their personal goals, success, happiness and legacy. In the CA•rs redistribution, the students, such as sales personnel, may increase his or her Creative Ambitions and/or Creative Actions or sustained right actions Dwelling Time, DT_(CA′) relative to the student's, such as the sales personnel's Creative Ambitions and/or Creative Actions or sustained right actions Dwelling Time, DT_(CA), as depicted in FIG. 1B, supra, and described in associated text. Hereinafter, Dwelling Time may be the time that the students, such as sales personnel, invest thinking about and performing any activity. Dwelling Time can be constructive or destructive. Constructive Dwelling Time may be rooted in Creative Ambitions and/or Creative Actions or sustained right actions and in Success-Creative Activity. Constructive Dwelling Time may be time that directly powers success. Destructive Dwelling Time may be rooted in self-preservation and recreation. Destructive Dwelling Time may displace Success-Creative activity. Students, such as sales personnel, may be taught to do surveillance and/or self-monitoring and/or self-governance, in which they are taught to optimize a probability of success of achieving their personal goals by monitoring their Constructive Dwelling Time. Students, such as sales personnel, may be instructed to perform the Success CA•rs redistributions 15 and 16, as depicted in FIGS. 1B and 1C and described supra, to de-emphasize recreation and survival activities by re-distributing and re-balancing their Dwelling Time so that more of the sales personnels' Success-Creative activity may be allocated toward Creative Ambitions and/or Creative Actions or sustained right actions. New brain activities are helpful in achieving the students', such as a sales person's personal goal; old brain activities are detrimental to achieving the student's, such as the sales person's personal goal.

In some embodiments of the present invention, in step 530 of the method 500, students, such as sales personnel, may be instructed to de-emphasize old brain activities by allocating more creative energy and dwelling time to power and achieve their personal goals and FAST CA•rs based on the listing of new and old brain activities that result in Fast CA•rs, listed in the step 515, supra, of the method 500.

FIG. 1H, supra, depicts an embodiment of the step 530 of the method 500, wherein the students, such as sales personnel, may be instructed to redistribute and rebalance their initial foreground creative energy, FGE_(i), as in a Success CA•rs redistribution 35 in a direction of the arrow 37, as depicted in FIG. 1G, supra, and described herein. In FIG. 1H, the students, such as sales personnel, may have redistributed their initial foreground energy, FGE_(i), such that FGE_(CA′)>FGE_(CA) to accomplish the students', such as the sales personnels' moment-to-moment thoughts or sustained right thinking and behaviors. Creative energy includes foreground creative energy. “Foreground energy” is a portion of the students', such as the sales personnels' creative energy that may be allocated to power in-progress activities in order to achieve the students', such as the sales personnels' personal goal. The students, such as sales personnel, may be instructed to distinguish between personal goals that may have an immediate need from personal goals that may be achieved later. In this foreground creative mode, a task executing in foreground is one able to accept input from and return output to the user in contrast to one running in the background. Normally, there may be more than one foreground task per sales person to be accomplished. Hereinafter, accomplishing more than one task per sales person may be termed “multi-resulting.” In the foreground creative mode, instructing the sales personnel, as depicted in FIGS. 1G and 1H, supra, and described, herein, to allocate their “foreground energy” to accomplish their moment-to-moment thoughts or sustained right thinking and behaviors may avoid confusion that may result from multi-resulting.

FIG. 1H, supra, depicts an embodiment, Overcoming Resistance, of the step 530 of the method 500, comprising a step 550, instructing the students, such as sales personnel, to utilize activity kindling or controlled hyper-arousal to overcome their naturally occurring stop reflex, or a step 555, instructing the students, such as sales personnel, to utilize self-deprivation to overcome, suppress or override their naturally occurring stop reflex, or a step 560, instructing the students, such as sales personnel, to increase their success startle threshold or activity kindling threshold, or a step 565, instructing the students, such as sales personnel, to create a crisis of need or relevance. In the step 550, the students, such as sales personnel, may be instructed to utilize activity kindling or hyper-arousal to overcome their naturally occurring stop reflex that may be a barrier preventing allocation of their creative energy, E_(f), in order to achieve their Creative Ambitions and/or Creative Actions or sustained right actions, as in a Success CA•rs redistributions 15, 16, and 35 as in FIGS. 1C, 1D and 1F, supra. Hereinafter, kindling means the electrophysiological changes that occur in the brain as a result of repeated intermittent exposure to a sub-threshold electrical or chemical stimulus (as one causing seizures) so that there develops a usually permanent decrease in the threshold or barrier to action or activity. Hereinafter, “hyper-arousal” means a state of elevated or increased alertness, focus, interest, awareness or wakefulness. “Hyper-arousal” may also mean an enhanced state of sensory sensitivity accompanied by an exaggerated intensity of behaviors whose purpose is to detect threats, for example, hyper-vigilance. Hereinafter, the “stop reflex” is a reflex that arises from the sales personnels' natural resistance to change, such as, for example, the Natural Protective Resistance (NPR) to change or novelty. The “stop reflex” may arise from homeostasis, a term that describes the sales personnels' bodies' natural tendency to preserve their physiological equilibria, such as, for example, a homeostatic regulator that preserves the current state of affairs, such as the body's ability and drive to maintain a constant fixed body temperature. The students, such as sales personnel, may prepare for action if they are threatened by the environment (or informed of an approaching pleasure or danger). The students, such as sales personnel, may activate reserves of energy that may be a barrier preventing allocation of their creative energy, E_(f), to achieve their Creative Ambitions and/or Creative Actions or sustained right actions, as in a Success CA•rs redistributions 15, 16, and 35 as in FIGS. 1C, 1D and 1F, supra, and produce certain hormones such as adrenalin, which prepares the students, such as sales personnel, for conflict or flight, such as for example, the survival instinct reflex. This activation can be manifested in visible physiological reactions or sustained right actions of the students, such as the sales personnel. Heart beat and respiration rate of the students, such as the sales personnel, may quicken in the presence of emotion, perceived danger, or physical effort. The faces of the students, such as sales personnel, may turn red or pale and their bodies may perspire. The students, such as sales personnel, may experience shortness of breath, cold sweats, shivering, or trembling legs. In preparation for fight or flight, physiological change gets converted into feelings of anxiety which increase the anxiety and/or fear of the sales personnel. The anxiety and/or fear then become the resistance to creativity.

Homeostasis can be a voluntary response to paired stimuli, e.g., to drink when the students, such as sales personnel, may be thirsty, to eat when hungry, to put on clothing when cold, to open a window when the students, such as sales personnel, may be too warm, or involuntary response to paired stimuli, e.g. shivering, or sweating when the students, such as sales personnel, may have a fever or may be too cold or hot. Here, the “paired stimuli” mean the stimulus of the pleasure to drink in response to the stimulus to relieve the pain of thirst, the stimulus of the pleasure to eat in response to the stimulus to relieve the pain of hunger, etc. In either voluntary or involuntary cases of homeostasis, the students, such as sales personnel, may be taught that the likelihood that they may overcome the stop reflex of homeostasis may depend on their control of the “paired stimuli,” that may be opposite human sensations such as pleasure and pain, hunger and satiety, or emotions, such as love and hate.

FIG. 1I, supra, may depict the students', such as the sales personnels' creative energy, such as their perceived pleasure, as in equation (1), supra, versus time that may power the sales personnels' Creative Ambitions. The students', such as the sales personnels' perceived pleasure is shown as being either greater than, equal to or less than the students', such as the sales personnels' activity kindling or de-kindling threshold or hyper-arousal or hyper-dearousal threshold versus time. Hereinafter, “activity dekindling threshold” and “hyper-dearousal threshold” are opposite of “activity kindling threshold” and “hyper-arousal threshold,” respectively. The broken curve of FIG. 1I, supra, depicts activity dekindling or controlled hyper-dearousal, wherein a high r/s (i.e., high recreation, r, and/or survival, s,) activity having the sales personnels' creative energy inefficiently allocated to survival, s, and/or recreation, r, activity may be dekindled, i.e. directed below the “activity dekindling threshold” and “hyper-dearousal threshold” over time by instructing the students, such as sales personnel, to link the high r/s activity to a low perceived pleasure, that may be less than 50%, as defined in equation (1) supra. By instructing the students, such as sales personnel, to link the high r/s activity to the low perceived pleasure, the students, such as sales personnel, may be taught to stop doing the high r/s activity. It has been found that students, such as sales personnel will stop doing the high r/s activity when the perceived pleasure is less than 50%, resulting in directing the high r/s activity from an “activity field,” as in FIG. 1I, to a thought field. In contrast, the solid curve of FIG. 1I depicts activity kindling or controlled hyper-arousal, wherein a high Creative Ambitions, CA, activity may be kindled, i.e. directed above the “activity kindling threshold” and “hyper-arousal threshold” over time by instructing the students, such as sales personnel, to recognize that the activity linked to the high Creative Ambitions, CA, activity may have a high perceived pleasure, as defined in equation (1) supra. By instructing the students, such as sales personnel, to link the high Creative Ambitions, CA, activity to the high perceived pleasure, the students, such as sales personnel, may be taught to start doing the high CA activity. It has been found that students, such as sales personnel, will start doing the high CA activity when the perceived pleasure is greater than 50%, resulting in directing the high CA activity from the “thought field” as in FIG. 1I, supra, to the “activity field,” as in FIG. 1I, supra. It has been found that teaching students, such as sales personnel, to identify high CA activities that have a perceived pleasure greater than 50% enable them to gain leverage over barriers to implementation of the creative activities they have identified to help them achieve their compelling desire or personal goal. The technique in FIG. 1I, supra, may be used by the students, such as sales personnel, to transform their creative thought into creative action. FIG. 1I, supra, teaches the students, such as sales personnel, that Perceived Pleasure, as in equation (1), supra, may increase when the students, such as sales personnel, kindle their high CA activities resulting in doing the activities that the students, such as sales personnel, have identified may be required to achieve their compelling desires or personal goal, i.e. success. In like manner, FIG. 1I, supra, teaches the students, such as sales personnel, that Perceived Pleasure, as in equation (1), supra, may increase when the students, such as sales personnel, redistribute and re-balance their creative energy to allocate more creative energy to their Creative Ambitions, CA, thereby losing r/s, as depicted in FIG. 1I, supra. FIG. 1I teaches the students, such as sales personnel, to allocate r/s energy to provide the energy to transform their creative thought into creative action. It has been found that the loss in r/s energy may be equivalent to the gain in CA energy, which may also be equivalent to the gain in perceived pleasure energy.

It has been found that students, such as sales personnel, should increase activity kindling or hyper-arousal intensity to an activity kindling or hyper-arousal threshold level of perceived pleasure associated with an activity, in order to overcome the stop reflex due to homeostasis in order to cause students, such as sales personnel, to engage in the activity and/or carry it out. It has also been found that a likelihood that students, such as sales personnel, will engage in the activity may be proportional to an activity kindling level or a controlled hyper-arousal level of the students.

Therefore, in the step 550 of the method 500, as depicted in FIG. 8, supra, students, such as sales personnel, may be taught activity kindling or controlled hyper-arousal techniques and that they may overcome either voluntary or involuntary homeostasis, and that may promote the sales personnels' FAST CA•rs activities such as, for example, new success. This may be because it has been found that activity kindling or controlled hyper-arousal in excess of the activity kindling or hyper-arousal threshold and in excess of the energy of aroused interest in recreation, r, or survival, s, or self-preservation, s, may overcome the sales personnels' stop reflex due to homeostasis, thereby causing students, such as sales personnel, to engage in the activity and/or carry it out. In some embodiments in which the students, such as the sales persons' personal goal may include behavior displacement, it has been found that teaching the students, such as sales personnel, to associate more pleasure with the behavior to be activated and more pain with the behavior to be suppressed may be an effective activity kindling or controlled hyper-arousal technique. The students, such as sales personnel, may be taught that activity kindling or controlled hyper-arousal that associates pleasure with activities to be activated attracts the students, such as sales personnel, to engage in the activity, but activity dekindling or controlled hyper-dearousal that associates pain or discomfort with activities to be suppressed causes the students, such as sales personnel, to withdraw from the activity to be suppressed. It has been found that activity kindling or controlled hyper-arousal may effectively stimulate activities such as working to finish a task on time in competition with other activities selected from the group consisting of watching television, playing, or reading, going to the gym, new success and combinations thereof. Alternatively, activity kindling or controlled hyper-arousal may effectively stimulate new success, effectively displacing other activities selected from the group consisting of watching television, playing, or reading, going to the gym, working and combinations thereof. In some embodiments, the controlled hyper-arousal may be the sales personnels' conviction that their personal goal justifies “going all out,” such as, for example deciding to enroll in a educational program because the student, such as sales personnel, can not accept their current state of not knowing enough about the benefits of prescribing or using their medical treatment product in order to persuade or convince a physician or other medical personnel to buy the medical treatment product.

The students, such as sales personnel, may be taught that activity kindling or hyper-arousal may be utilized for energizing new success when it may be internally controlled. Alternatively, activity kindling or hyper-arousal may be externally controlled, for example, by the advertising industry. Advertising expensive clothing such as women's fashion may be an example of externally controlled hyper-arousal or externally controlled activity kindling, wherein customers may be enticed to buy articles by advertisers representing the articles to possible or potential customers as unnaturally or unrealistically desirable, beautiful, or sexually appealing. This could cause the students, such as sales personnel, to displace, suppress, or abandon activities of Creative Ambition, CA. Students, such as sales personnel, may be taught a benefit to internally controlling hyper-arousal or internally controlling activity kindling, is that the students may choose to pursue new success instead of being enticed to buy articles by advertisers who represent the articles to possible or potential customers as unnaturally or unrealistically desirable, beautiful, or sexually appealing. Students, such as sales personnel, may be taught to increase the likelihood of achieving their creative pursuits and/or personal goal by manipulatively increasing a hyper-arousal adrenaline effect the students, such as sales personnel, may associate with their creative pursuits and/or personal goal. Students, such as sales personnel, may be taught to associate pleasure to present success and new success activities, and associate pain for recreation or survival activities such as working, playing, watching television, or going to the gym since it has been found that increasing the intensity of pleasure associated with an activity increases the likelihood that students, such as sales personnel, will engage in it and/or carry it out.

In the step 555 of the method 500, as depicted in FIG. 8, supra, the students, such as sales personnel, may be instructed to utilize activity kindling threshold and/or self-deprivation to overcome their naturally occurring stop reflex due to homeostasis, thereby causing students, such as sales personnel, to engage in the activity and/or carry it out. In the step 555, the students, such as sales personnel, may be taught that utilizing kindling threshold means utilizing activity kindling or controlled hyper-arousal techniques, as taught to the students, such as the sales personnel in the step 550, of the method 500, described supra, and that they may overcome either voluntary or involuntary homeostasis, and that may promote the sales personnels' FAST CA•rs activities such as, for example, new success. In the step 555, the students, such as the sales personnel, may be taught that their stop reflex arises from their lack of confidence, their lack of self-esteem, their poor morale, their rejection sensitivity, e.g., they may be too sensitive to rejection as if their skin were too thin, their not knowing their true worth to the physician, their not buying into the sales message/philosophy, their impatience or being easily discouraged, change is quantum, and their being afraid to use support systems because of, for example, their fear of being exposed as being afraid. Next, the student, such as the sales personnel, may be instructed to overcome the stop reflex by utilizing the Success Roadmap 50, as depicted in FIG. 1E, supra, the Success Roadmap 414, as depicted in FIG. 6, supra, or the Success Roadmap 600, as depicted in FIG. 9 supra. In the Success Roadmaps 50, 414, and 600, the students, such as the sales personnel, may be taught that their stop reflex may cause them to stop moving along the paths of the success maps 50 and 414, and 600, such as getting stuck in the at least one of the steps 51-56 of the Success Roadmap 50, or the steps indicated by the perpendicular lines between the STARS categories: Spirit, Thought, Action, Results, and Surveillance, self-monitoring and or self-governance 413 of the Success Roadmap 414, or getting stuck in the at least one steps 61-65 of the Success Roadmap 600. In the step 555 of the method 500, the students, such as the sales personnel, may be taught that utilizing the success roadmaps 50 and/or 414 may mean overcoming the stop reflexes that cause the students, such as the sales personnel to stop or get stuck in the at least one of the steps 51-56 of the Success Roadmap 50, or the steps indicated by the perpendicular lines between the STARS categories: Spirit, Thought, Action, Results, and Surveillance, self-monitoring and or self-governance 413 of the Success Roadmap 414. In the step 555 of the method 500, the student, such as the sales personnel, may be taught the following methods for overcoming the barriers to sales to overcome the stop reflexes that cause the students, such as the sales personnel, to stop or get stuck in at the at least one of the steps 51-56 of the Success Roadmap 50, or the steps indicated by the perpendicular lines between the STARS categories: Spirit, Thought, Action, Results, and Surveillance, self-monitoring and or self-governance 413 of the Success Roadmap 414.

FIG. 8 depicts the steps 550-565 of the method 500, wherein the students, such as sales personnel, may be taught that utilizing the techniques, as in the steps 550-565 of the method 500, may result in pursuing or allocating the students', such as the sales personnel's creative energy, to power new brain activities, such as work, creative pursuits, and/or self-improvement, by deferring or delaying r/s activities such as going to the movies, watching television, going on vacation, or entertainment. For example, the students, such as the sales personnel may be taught to to enroll in an educational program. Such educational program may teach the student, such as the sales personnel, that cultural forces may deter the prescribing physician from prescribing the sales personnel's medical product. Such educational program may teach the student, such as the sales personnel, that the cultural forces may include habit or bias resulting from favorable outcomes from use of older drugs. Alternatively, such educational program may teach the student, such as the sales personnel, that the cultural forces may include the prescribing physician being inundated and/or overwhelmed with problems with practice management and patient management. Alternatively, such educational program may teach the student, such as the sales personnel, that the cultural forces may include that the prescribing physician may doubt there is a need for a the sales personnel's medical product, such that the prescribing physician may view listening to the sales personnel's sales message may be a waste of the prescribing physician's time. Alternatively, such educational program may teach the student, such as the sales personnel, that the cultural forces may include that the prescribing physician may be risk averse to prescribing a new drug with which he has no first hand experience. Alternatively, such educational program may teach the student, such as the sales personnel, that the cultural forces may include that the prescribing physicians may feel that their objectivity may be compromised by interactions with the students, such as the sales personnel, especially those that involve gratuities and other pleasantries. Hereinafter, “other pleasantries” include pens, Post-Its, clocks, calculators and clipboards, good cheer, appreciation and invitations to pleasant experiences. In the past their offers included sports events, live theater, a round of golf, even a weekend at a plush resort. More recently, under tighter guidelines promoted by the AMA and others, these have been toned down to more modest educational lunches or dinners (minus spouses), though usually presented at upscale restaurants and occasionally accompanied by consulting fees offered in exchange for feedback about the company's current advertising campaigns.

In the steps 550-565, the student, such as the sales personnel, may be taught that the cultural forces deterring the prescribing physician from prescribing the medical product may arise from overpowering the prescribing physician intellectually (or in any other way) and that the primary result of such overpowering the prescribing physician are resistance, skepticism, cynicism, burnout, disrespect towards the student, such as the sales personnel, refusal to listen, poor self-confidence and/or resentment. Hereinafter, “burnout” means physical or emotional exhaustion.

In the steps 550-565, the student, such as the sales personnel, may be taught that the cultural forces deterring the prescribing physician from prescribing the medical product may be neutralized or defeated by first, listing possible causes or actions that may result in: 1) a communication gap; 2) a lack of empathy for the prescribing physician and/or 3) a lack of understanding how to relate to the prescribing physician. Secondly, teaching the students, such as the sales personnel, to avoid or remove said causes or actions by: 1) not speaking about apples instead of oranges; 2) not hiding benefit or risks; and/or 3) alluding to benefits or risks of using the medical product, but not making them clear.

In the step steps 550-565 of the method 500, the student, such as the sales personnel may be taught that a communication gap may develop between them and the prescribing physician because the physician perceives the sales personnel may be proposing medical products that don't remedy the patient's malady or need for treatment. Hereinafter, a “communication gap” means a breakdown or error in communication between a speaker and a listener, that results in the subject matter that the speaker conveys not being perceived by the listener the same as the subject matter conveyed by the speaker. Such communication gaps may result when the listener, e.g., the prescribing physician, may think or conclude that the speaker, e.g., the sales personnel, may be speaking about a medical product that offers “X” benefits (by analogy, “apples”) when the listener, e.g., the prescribing physician wants to hear about “Y” benefits (by analogy, “oranges”) to treat his patient. Therefore, by analogy, the speaker, e.g., the sales personnel, may be speaking about “apples” when the listener, e.g., the prescribing physician, may want to hear about “oranges.” Hereinafter, “speaking apples instead of oranges” means the communication gap that may result when the speaker, e.g., the sales personnel, may be speaking about a medical product that offers “X” benefits (by analogy, “apples”) when the listener, e.g., the prescribing physician may want to hear about “oranges.”

Alternatively, in the steps 550-565 of the method 500, the students, such as the sales personnel, may be taught that a communication gap may result when unspoken communication may interfere or conflict with associated spoken communication. The students, such as sales personnel, may be taught that the communication gap may result if the listener disbelieves or doubts the truthfullness of a spoken communication because the listener may filter or interpret the spoken communication, by using unspoken language to test the spoken language such as, for example, as to it's truthfullness or sincerity. The students, such as the sales personnel, may be taught that unspoken language may be non-reinforcing when it causes the listener to disbelieve or doubt the truthfulness of the spoken language. The listener may be the prescribing physician or alternatively, may be students, such as the sales personnel. The students, such as the sales personnel, may be taught that unspoken language may be body language, wherein facial expressions, hand gestures, and/or stance of the body of a speaker may communicate a message to the listener. The students, such as the sales personnel, may be taught that such unspoken language, such as, for example, whether the speaker looks directly into the listener's eyes may be a test used by the listener to determine truthfullness of the speaker's spoken language associated with the unspoken language. The students, such as the sales personnel, as speakers, may be taught to eliminate or avoid the communications gap by teaching the students, such as sales personnel, to refute or traverse the doubt or disbelief expressed by the listener, such as, for example, to “read between the lines” of the listener, such as the prescribing physician.

Alternatively, in the steps 550-565 of the method 500, the students, such as the sales personnel, as speakers, may be taught that the communication gap may result if the listener disbelieves or doubts the truthfullness of the spoken communication because the listener may filter or interpret the spoken communication, by gauging the speaker's empathy for the listener to test the spoken language, such as, for example, as to it's truthfullness or sincerity. Hereinafter, “empathy” means identification with and understanding of another's situation, feelings, and motives. Alternatively, “empathy” may mean the attribution of one's own feelings to an another. The students, such as the sales personnel, may be taught that such unspoken language, such as, for example, whether the speaker empathizes with the listener may be a test used by the listener to determine truthfullness of the speaker's spoken language associated with the unspoken language. The students, such as the sales personnel, as speakers, may be taught to eliminate or avoid the communications gap by teaching the students, such as sales personnel, to refute or traverse the doubt or disbelief expressed by the listener, such as, for example, to empathize with the listener, such as the prescribing physician.

Alternatively, in the steps 550-565 of the method 500, the students, such as the sales personnel, as speakers, may be taught that the communication gap may result if the listener disbelieves or doubts the truthfullness of the spoken communication because the listener may filter or interpret the spoken communication, by gauging the speaker's relatability to the listener to test the spoken language, such as, for example, as to it's truthfullness or sincerity. Hereinafter, “relatability” means ablility to ally by connection or kindred. Alternatively, “relatability” may mean having or establishing a relationship. The students, such as the sales personnel, may be taught that such unspoken language, such as, for example, the speaker's relatability to the listener may be a test used by the listener to determine truthfullness of the speaker's spoken language associated with the unspoken language. The students, such as the sales personnel, as speakers, may be taught to eliminate or avoid the communications gap by teaching the students, such as sales personnel, to refute or traverse the doubt or disbelief expressed by the listener, such as, for example, by fostering relatability to the listener, such as the prescribing physician.

In the steps 550-565 of the method 500, self-deprivation includes voluntarily giving up or losing relative or perceived pleasure associated with the activity being deprived. Therefore, self-deprivation and instant gratification may be opposites because self-deprivation may be a new brain activity and instant gratification may be an old brain activity. The students, such as sales personnel, may be taught to have confidence in self-deprivation and/or delayed gratification if they are given a larger reward for engaging in and/or carrying out the activity using the step than if they engage in and/or carry out the same activity immediately, such as, for example, deferring pre-marital sex until they are committed to a monogamous relationship, instead of accepting a higher risk of being exposed to a sexually transmitted disease from a polygamous partner.

In the step 116 of the method 1, as depicted in FIG. 1H, supra, the students, such as sales personnel, may be instructed to focus their attention on the Creative Ambitions, CA, and/or Creative Actions or sustained right actions, CA, and/or productive activities related to carrying out their compelling desire and/or personal goal, as in the step 95 of the method 1, supra. By focusing on activities, the students, such as sales personnel, identify that will help them achieve their compelling desires and/or personal goal, students may induce success startles that are specific to carrying out their compelling desires and/or their personal goal. A problem is that normal human brains generate competing voluntary and involuntary success startles. In healthy brains, involuntary success startles may be controlled by a balance of adrenaline and dopamine and/or endorphins. We have described how brains with unhealthy lesions in the frontal lobe or people diagnosed with attention deficit syndrome have random uncontrolled success startles such that they try to give their attention to every activity they imagine. Focusing accomplishes two results that help students, such as sales personnel, achieve their compelling desires and/or their personal goal. Firstly, focusing on creative activities increases an intensity of their success startles, and secondly, focusing on creative activities increases their success startle threshold and/or kindling and/or activity thresholds for Creative Ambition, CA, Creative Action, CA and/or productive actions or sustained right actions identified by the students, such as sales personnel, for carrying out their compelling desires and/or their personal goal. As to the first result, focusing on the activity to be carried out increases the success startle intensity for that activity relative to the numerous other competing success startles in a normal or unhealthy brain. As to the second result, it has been found that focusing raises the success startle threshold and/or kindling and/or action threshold for success creative activities relative to recreation (or pleasure) or, and self-preservation, s activities. Therefore, instructing students, such as sales personnel to focus on creative activities increases their success startle intensities so that the creative activity may be stimulated to action even though focusing also raises the success startle threshold and/or kindling and/or action threshold for success creative activities relative to recreation (or pleasure) r, and self-preservation, s activities and relative to the competing success startles in the normal and unhealthy brains.

It has been found that the success startle and/or kindling and/or activity threshold for recreation (or pleasure) r, and self-preservation, s, activities such as play, watching television, or instant gratification for immediate pleasure or play may be lower than for working on Creative Ambitions, CA, and/or Creative Actions or sustained right actions, CA, and/or productive actions or sustained right actions activities that may have time pressure due to a near term deadline. Procrastination, where students, such as sales personnel, defer working on Creative Ambitions, CA, and/or Creative Actions or sustained right actions, CA, and/or productive actions or sustained right actions, but instead pursue recreation (or pleasure) r, and self-preservation, s, activities such as play, watching television, or instant gratification for immediate pleasure or play such that the Creative Ambitions, CA, and/or Creative Actions or sustained right actions, CA, and/or productive actions or sustained right actions may be finished late or just in time, may exemplify this lowered success startle and/or kindling and/or action threshold for recreation (or pleasure) r, and self-preservation, s, activities such as play, watching television, or instant gratification for immediate pleasure or play. Therefore, teaching the students, such as sales personnel, to focus on the Creative Ambitions, CA, and/or Creative Actions or sustained right actions, CA, and/or productive actions or sustained right actions in contrast to recreation (or pleasure) r, and self-preservation, s, thereby increasing the students', such as the sales persons' success startle for the Creative Ambitions, CA, and/or Creative Actions or sustained right actions, CA, and/or productive actions or sustained right actions may overcome the students', such as the sales persons' naturally occurring stop reflex due to homeostasis, thereby causing students, such as the sales personnel, to engage in the Creative Ambitions, CA, and/or Creative Actions or sustained right actions, CA, and/or productive actions or sustained right actions activities and/or carry them out.

Alternatively, in the step 116 of the method 1, the student, such as the sales personnel, is taught that their choice of creative activity over recreation, r, and/or survival, s may be based on a perceived relative rewards associated with each activity and that there is a natural attraction towards activities with the greatest perceived relative rewards.

In step 116, the student is taught the concept of Perceived Relative Reward. Perceived Relative Reward can be defined as a ratio of perceived pleasure to perceived pain as in equation (1) supra: $\begin{matrix} {\text{Perceived~~Relative~~Reward} = \frac{\text{Average~~Perceived~~Pleasure}}{\text{Average~~Perceived~~Pain}}} & (1) \end{matrix}$ where: Perceived Pleasure includes enjoyable activity drives such as love, happiness, altruism, Creative Ambition comfort, Creative Ambition excitement, Creative Ambition wealth, Creative Ambition sex, success, positive legacy and inspiration. Here, activity drives such as Creative Ambition wealth and sex are not drives for recreation, r or survival, s, wealth and drives for recreation, r, sex for instant gratification. Perceived Pain includes un-enjoyable recreation, r, and/or survival, s, withdrawal drives such as from fear, physical or emotional pain, discomfort, shame, guilt, worry, and regret.

In step 116, the students, such as the sales personnel, may be taught to ascribe an intensity for each of the Perceived Pleasures listed supra for a given activity on a scale of 0-10, wherein 0 means no pleasure, a 5 means average pleasure, and 10 means the greatest intensity of pleasure that the students, such as the sales personnel, ascribe to the given activity to determine the quantity “Perceived Pleasure.” In like manner, the students, such as the sales personnel, may be taught to ascribe an intensity for each of the Perceived Pains listed supra for a given activity on a scale of 0-10, wherein 0 means no pain, a 5 means average pain, and 10 means the greatest intensity of pain that the students ascribe to the given activity to determine the quantity “Perceived Pain.” Each of “Average Perceived Pleasure” and “Average Perceived Pain” may be determined by averaging each of “Perceived Pleasure” and “Perceived Pain” for the given activity, wherein any appropriate method of statistical averaging such as equal weighting or non-equal weighting may be used to determine each of “Average Perceived Pleasure” and “Average Perceived Pain.”

In step 116, the student, such as the sales personnel, is taught that a high Perceived Relative Reward (high Perceived Pleasure) promotes action in those activities and a low Perceived Relative Reward (high Perceived Pain) promotes avoidance of actions or sustained right actions in those activities. The student, such as the sales personnel, is taught that the probability of action thus increases as Perceived Relative Reward increases. In step 116, the student, such as the sales personnel, is taught how to increase or decrease their Perceived Relative Reward. On one hand, increasing their perceptions of love, happiness and the greater good served by fulfilling their Creative Ambition and/or Creative Actions or sustained right actions, can increase a students', such as a sales persons' Perceived Relative Reward. On the other hand, decreasing their perceptions of pain, fear, shame, guilt, discomfort and regret associated with not fulfilling their Creative Ambitions can decrease a students', such as the sales persons' Perceived Relative Reward.

In the step 118 of the method 1, as depicted in FIG. 1H, supra, the students, such as the sales personnel, may be instructed to create a crisis of need or relevance to overcome their naturally occurring stop reflex. The students, such as the sales personnel, may be taught that time may expire before they have achieved their compelling desire and/or their personal goal. Students, such as the sales personnel, may be taught to project or estimate a timeline for achieving their compelling desire and/or their personal goal. Students, such as the sales personnel, may be taught to make a plan for completing their compelling desire and/or their personal goal and to determine if the estimated time to the plan exceeds the time they want to wait. Students, such as the sales personnel, may be taught to recognize their dissatisfaction with the length of the timeline for completion may be a crisis of need or relevance that may motivate them shift their energy for their plan. FIG. 2, infra, depicts a crisis of need or relevance.

FIG. 2 is a pictorial representation illustrating a crisis of need or relevance. In FIG. 2 the likelihood of reaching a goal is plotted versus time. It is immediately apparent that the likelihood of reaching a goal increases with the amount of time spent in activities powering reaching the goal. The time axis is split into the past and the future by the present time. The present is time T0. Without the method of the present invention, the projected slope of the line of likelihood of reaching a goal over time is the result of old habits and routines of dwelling time between new brain and old brain activities remains the same as in past time (left of T0) and the goal is accomplished at time T2. With the method of the present invention, the projected slope of the line of likelihood of reaching a goal over time is the result of new habits and routines of creative energy or dwelling time shifted from old brain activities to new brain activities increases and the goal may be accomplished at time T2, taking less time. In FIG. 2 the energy shift represented by the steeper slope of the line of likelihood of reaching a goal over time that is the result of new habits and routines of creative energy or dwelling time (present to T1) is an increased efficiency in achieving the goal. FIG. 2 may be presented to students as part of the method 1 of the present invention.

The techniques taught to the students, such as the sales personnel, to overcome the stop reflex due to homeostasis in order to cause students to engage in the activity and/or carry it out in the steps 112, 114, 116, and/or 118 of the method 1 maybe used in any order. Alternatively, the students, such as the sales personnel, may be taught to use at least one of the steps 112, 114, 116, and/or 118, or any combinations thereof. In the steps 112, 114, 116, and/or 118 of the method 1, the students, such as the sales personnel, may be taught to use the following techniques to overcome the stop reflex in order to cause students to engage in the activity and/or carry it to override all obstacles and barriers: identify their talent-matched desired contribution to others; identify parallel pleasure anchors, i.e., rewards to promote and sustain your pursuit interest; elevate their gravitational energy. Hereinafter, gravitational energy is their creative energy that may unify and focus the students', such as the sales persons' mental, physical and spiritual energies, i.e., their attention, interest, pleasure, determination and endurance; increase their mental and physical processing speed; and increase their closure rate for achieving or accomplishing their compelling desire and personal goal.

In step 130, students, such as the sales personnel, may be instructed to self-monitor themselves whether they have achieved their compelling desire or personal goal, as identified in the step 95, supra.

If, as a result of surveillance and/or self-monitoring and/or self-govemance, the students, such as the sales personnel, conclude they may not have achieved their compelling desire or personal goal, the students, such as the sales personnel, are instructed as in step 140, of the method 1, to reiterate steps 100 to 130. Alternatively, if, as a result of surveillance and/or self-monitoring and/or self-governance, the students, such as the sales personnel, conclude they may have may have achieved their compelling desire or personal goal, or if the students, such as the sales personnel, decide they no longer want to pursue their compelling desire or personal goal, the students, such as the sales personnel, are instructed to proceed to step 145, of the method 1, described infra.

In the step 145 of the method 1, the students, such as the sales personnel, may be instructed to reiterate steps 95 to 130 of the method 1, as depicted in FIG. 1A, supra. FIG. 1F, supra, depicts another embodiment of the step 115 of the method 1, wherein the students, such as the sales personnel, may be instructed to redistribute and rebalance their initial foreground recreation energy, FGE_(r), as in a success CA•rs redistribution 45 in a direction of the arrow 47. In FIG. 1F, supra, the students, such as the sales personnel, may have redistributed their initial foreground recreation energy, FGE_(r), such that a portion of their initial foreground recreation energy, FGE_(r) may be reallocated as new success final foreground Creative Ambitions and/or Creative Actions or sustained right actions energy FGE_(CA′), such that their final Creative Ambitions and/or Creative Actions or sustained right actions energy, FGE_(CA′), includes present success FGE_(CA′) and new succes FGE_(CA′) to accomplish the students', such as the sales personnel's, moment-to-moment thoughts or sustained right thinking and behaviors. The students, such as the sales personnel, may be instructed that such new success may require management and reallocation of their initial recreation or survival foreground creative energy, FGE_(r,s), rather than diminishing final present success foreground creative energy, FGE_(CA′). Here final foreground creative energy, FGE_(r′,s′) is equal to the final foreground creative energy the students, such as the sales personnel, allocate to recreation, FGE_(r′) and the final foreground creative energy the students, such as the sales personnel, allocate to survival, FGE_(s′). Therefore, the students, such as the sales personnel, may be instructed that one goal of success is to preserve present success.

Alternatively, in the step 145 of the method 1, the students, such as the sales personnel, may be instructed to reiterate steps 95 to 130 of the method 1, as depicted in FIG. 1A, supra, such that the students, such as the sales personnel, may be instructed to redistribute and rebalance their initial +U,uns recreation energy, FGE_(r), as in a success CA•rs redistribution 15 and 16, as in FIGS. 1C and 1D, supra. In this embodiment, the students, such as the sales personnel, may have redistributed their initial recreation energy, E_(r), such that a portion of their initial recreation energy, E_(r) may be reallocated as new success final Creative Ambitions and/or Creative Actions or sustained right actions energy E_(CA′), such that their final Creative Ambitions and/or Creative Actions or sustained right actions energy, E_(CA′), includes present success E_(CA′) and new succes E_(CA′) to accomplish the students', such as the sales personnel's, moment-to-moment thoughts or sustained right thinking and behaviors. The students, such as the sales personnel, may be instructed that such new success may require management and reallocation of their initial recreation or survival creative energy, E_(r,s), rather than diminishing final present success creative energy, E_(CA′). Here final creative recreation and survival energy, E_(r′,s′), is equal to the final creative energy the students, such as the sales personnel, allocate to recreation, E_(r′) and the final creative energy the students, such as the sales personnel, allocate to survival, E_(s′). Therefore, the students, such as the sales personnel, may be instructed that one goal of success is to preserve present success.

The students, such as the sales personnel, may be taught that redistributing and rebalancing their dwelling time can reclaim their loss of their boundary-less or free spirit. The student, such as the sales personnel, may be further taught that success can be achieved by the combination of rebalancing dwelling time, de-emphasizing self-preservation and recreation (or pleasure), reclaiming their carefree creative nature, promoting adventure and change and promoting success-creative activities.

FIG. 6 depicts an embodiment in which the Success Roadmap 414, as in step 115 of the method 1, may be a “Success Roadmap—Team Up For Life” process, comprising the following “STAR” categories: Spirit, Thought, Action, Results, and Surveillance, self-monitoring and or self-governance 413 (for monitoring Creative Ambitions and/or Creative Action or Dwelling Time, DT). Each thought or action may receive input from a “CA•rs” category, wherein the CA•rs categories are Creative Ambitions and/or Creative Actions or sustained right actions, Recreation and Survival. FIG. 6 depicts External Synergistic and Internal Creative Inputs to the CA•rs categories, wherein the inputs may be possible or potential old and new brain activities and the students, such as sales personnel, may be taught to identify the activities as old and new brain activities and to characterize the inputs into new brain Creative Ambitions and/or Creative Actions or sustained right actions by increasing his dwell time for new brain activities. External Synergistic Input may be input from a source “outside of” and “external to” the student that creates an enhanced combined effect. The student may be instructed to find External Synergistic Input from a book, work of art, a person who is a kindred spirit, a person who is a professional colleague, a person who is a loved one, another student, and combinations thereof. The External Synergistic Input may be suggestions and inspirations for Creative Ambitions and/or Creative Actions or sustained right actions for the student when it is the External Synergistic Input to the CA•rs categories. Cooperative interactions or sustained right actions between agencies such as the students, such as sales personnel, and the External Synergistic Input may result in “synergism,” where synergism means a simultaneous action of separate agencies that, together, have greater total effect than the sum of their individual effects. Internal Creative Input may be input arising from within the student resulting from instructing the students, such as sales personnel, to be original, expressive, artistic, clever, cool, demiurgic, deviceful, fertile, formative, gifted, hip, ingenious, innovational, innovative, innovatory, inspired, inventive, original, originative, productive, prolific, stimulating, visionary, and imaginative that may be suggestions and inspirations for Creative Ambitions and/or Creative Actions or sustained right actions for the student when the Internal Creative Inputs are input into the CA•rs categories.
